get out of debt
ruthiecrue2 asked:


The governor is thinking about doing many things to get more money for the state of Michigan. Some ideas are raise the gasoline tax by 9 cents over the next 3 yrs, raise registration fees, add another tax on ciggerettes, or have a 2 cent tax on services such as haircuts. Michigan is hurting and so are our schools. What would you vote for to raise more money?
Our local school district wants to lay off 30+ teachers and close down 2 schools cause they don’t have the money!

    Fund a state car company. Nowhere else could that be done. I’d buy a Big3Mich.

    Actually, the governor is a she (Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat).

    If the schools in Michigan are “hurting,” why is the average teacher salary in Michigan the third highest in the country? But, when your governor is in the back pocket of the MEA, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.

    Funny, the state never seemed to be that bad off when Engler ran it.
