To wit:

The Granholm administration still is asking for fee increases to help fund the state departments of Natural Resources and Environmental Quality. Lawmakers have agreed to take up the proposals next month.

LOL! Short of voting her out of office, there is NO way a liberal can keep that one.

Let’s change the Constitution so Granholm can run for President.

Yes, fees can be raised at the drop of a hat, and are the main vehicle used to get around a tax freeze.

Not true. Next week, she'll propose another tax increase, but because she wants to increase spending--not because she wants to reduce budget shortfalls.

I get a kick out of the “Come to Michigan to do business” ads. Every time I see one, I wonder, how many companies really want to move to Michigan so they can be taxed to death. Hasn’t she pretty well killed the state?

I think she’s trying to empty Michigan for a possible Canadian takeover.

I wish she would......
If taxes keep going up here I would be able to buy my neighbors land cheaper because they are already so screwed up from her policies. A true mark of FAILURE for a governor is when the FEDS lock subprime loans and the borrowers still default on the mortgage because they dont even have a job. Jennie has been a dismal failure.

It shows how completely clueless they are. Like I’m going to move my business to Michigan because some liberal celebrity says it’s a good thing. How dumb can you be?
