Any repoerts on how Western Michigan (the heavily GOP region) is faring in all this?
We’re hurting here in Battle Creek. I work for the local hospital and can’t tell whether people just aren’t coming in for care like they used to (can’t afford it) or have they left the state while the getting is good? Lots of foreclosures and “restructuring” of businesses. Once Jennifer steps down, I see no one to save day on the Republican side. Hoekstra is supposed to be very conservative, but he will not agree to a “no tax” pledge if he is elected. The RINO Cox will promise anything, and I pray that the Michigan voters won’t get sucked in by him. Unfortunately for this state, we cannot ever win against the concentration of lefties voting in Detroit/Flint/Saginaw - that’s why Communist Carl Levin and “Dangerously Incompetent” Debbie Stabenow are our Senators.
I moved back to Michigan about 4 years ago for family reasons. This is still a beautiful state, but why come here or stay here if you’re a young person starting off in life??? Unfortunately, more and more states are following the insanity of Michigan and California - where are the bastions of freedom among our 50 states? Would the Fair Tax work on a state level? Eliminate all the income taxes and business taxes in Michigan and just have a consumption tax. Could we be the model and save the day?
