"We should check back in a few years to see how the “inevitably” thing is working out. I liked Republicans better back when, like Richard Nixon, they were all Keynesians. So I have a hard time figuring out how any jobs will be created when millions of families lose disposable income through higher taxes, just to provide tax breaks to a much smaller number of businesses. (If we were investing the added revenue in public infrastructure to enable private profits, like roads, schools and bridges, it would be a different story.) To whom are Michigan businesses going to sell their goods and services, when me and everybody else in the state has to fork over all our extra cash to Rick Snyder?"

Rick Snyder, says the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and the Environment is reviewing the allegations raised by Monday’s Michigan Messenger story about text messages which appear to document allegations of a lackluster clean up of the oil spill in Calhoun county.
