This Michigan resident believes that giving Detroit to Ohio and making it a suburb of Toledo would be a step in the right direction...
Unfortunately, there are many that agree with the author. I have already contacted my rep about the proposed 5% service tax the legislature have been running up the flagpole as of late. I am disgusted by the idea that government is the solution...and increasing taxes, growing government and corporate welfare are the best the lawgivers can come up with.
I"ll see your secession of Detroit to Ohio and raise you some education budget cuts. Let's start at the top. Let's cut one-half of all administration positions. Let's use one-half of those savings to upgrade our schools, and use the other half to upgrade our roads.
And then, let's cut out all these tax-free deals. We give a company tax-free status, they stay as long as they pay no taxes, then they leave and we get the shaft.
