California could learn from Michigan

closed for business, Michigan only wants Islma-fascists
They won’t of course, they just like Michigan will continue to push the Marxist version of “freedom” with high taxes, onerous regulation and little to no understanding of history.
The Detroitistan News reports that Michigan has lost another plant, this time to Tennessee. Worse, it was an automotive plant. So much for that vaunted Union workforce.
Mich. never had a chance for VW
Michigan learned today it lost its bid to win Volkswagen of North America’s new auto plant.
VW will put the plant in Chattanooga, Tenn.
What’s Tennessee got that Michigan doesn’t?
What DOESN’T Tennessee have that Michigan has? Well … high cost of living, head in the sand mentality, politicians owned by Unions.
Low taxes, for starters. Tennessee doesn’t have a state income tax.
It also doesn’t have a pro-union [Ed. note: that means anti-business] bias. Tennessee is a right-to-work state, which seems to be important to foreign automakers.
Michigan never had a chance.
Yes, you did have a chance, you just chose to remain the same and not take advantage of it.
GM cut 4100 jobs, Pfizer cut 275 from the Michigan economy just this week.
No doubt the Union owned liberals like Pelosi and Reed will say this is more proof that we need MORE government intervention, and thus more taxes to pay for it.
It’s Main Street Stupid
Governor Jennifer Granholm was too busy making dubious selections for idiotic programs to notice her state is sinking. Then again when you have been sinking for 3 decades, it’s hard to notice more of the same.
“Michigan’s economy cannot thrive without thriving downtowns — big and small,” Granholm said. “This program will help Manistee create opportunities for new development and economic growth just as it has in downtowns across our state.”
Yes, she is on top of things in Michigan. One more idiotic politician who thinks style over substance is the way to go.
The Michigan Main Street program is part of Governor Granholm’s Cool Cities initiative to create vibrant communities in Michigan. These efforts are based on numerous recent studies showing that investing in our downtowns creates vibrant centers, making our state economically stronger. There are currently 12 participating Michigan Main Street communities.
Funny how she missed the study about low taxes, and pro-business policies attracting business. No doubt her Union buddies won’t allow that to happen. Wallow in your filth Michigan. One day when you are bankrupt you will have no choice but to join us here in the 21st century.
This is a shot of a Manistee beach.
That is from this story: Investigators believe one source polluted the beach, don’t know who. Nice job. It’s so bad the Coast Guard was called in to investigate the garbage on Lake Michigan beaches.
