I think she should shut up and move North. God save the Queen, and all that.

Yes Jenny did refuse her pay raise. She also insisted on using up all the letterhead, and office supplies that were left over in the Engle administration with his name on it when she took over. Remember when you got a check back from Engler on your car insurance? Supposedly there was an excess in the fund that covered those that were so badly injured that this fund was to take care of them after their medical insurance ran out. At that time we were paying $8 per vehicle, and Engler gave the money back to even those that had just bought a vehicle the day before and never paid a dime into that fund. Now we are again paying anywhere from $50 -$65 per vehicle. If Engler would have left it alone, we very well may have just still be paying $8 a vehicle. But no, he wanted to make himself look good. neecer wrote: <quoted text> So in other words, instead of doing actually doing something about it, you'd rather just play the blame game? Please remember one of the things Engler didn't stop, that would be the pay raises. Guess who benefited from them? Yes, the Dems also! Guess who fought it? VERY few and it got buried in committee faster than it could go anywhere. Remember, in Michigan, they have to vote to TURN DOWN a pay raise, otherwise it's an automatic. So tell me, has Jenny rejected any of that money? Has anyone else? Put the blame where it REALLY belongs... on ALL of them.

And yes, Engler did his fair share to screw up this state, like I said, blame both sides. The point is, she's had 5 YEARS to do something about it. What has she done? Brought in a handful of jobs while loosing thousands more and taking a vacation to Europe every year under the guise of bringing in more jobs. Yep, she brought in a few.. from already established companies on the EAST side of the state.

And if your spouse ran up the credit cards to their max in, let's say a year, to the point it took you the next 20 years to pay them off, it would not be their fault the bills were so high because you didn't divorce and were involved in the pay back? What is wrong with these people that seem to believe twelve years of abuse and the resulting damage can be repaired in less than the amount of time it took to created it. For the highest educated generation(s) this country has ever seen there sure are some who missed a few classes.

Our legislature had nothing to do with all that spending. He bypassed the Constitution and the Legislature and spent every penny by himself.

Hey maybe the young people have seen what the Republican party has done for them and want nothing more than to get the Republicans OUTA THERE. They are not letting fox news (propaganda) delute their minds like the older cattle that we have.

Ah sarcasm with lots of holes in it to drive through. Yes the legislature had something to do with all that spending. However, the gripe on here is that GRANHOLM hasn't straighten it out. Drawing down on GRANHOLM, not the Legislature, now isn't it. Lets face it though. Engler did authorize and even instigate all the borrowing while he was introducing the legislation to lower the taxes on business and the wealthiest of this State. To go along with all that the People of the State were being told what great financial condition the State was in and wanted more and more from the State to do more....like more (business) tax breaks and subsidies.

I said refused her pay raise, not paycheck. How can she stop the Manufacturing jobs leaving this state. She didn't create NAFTA or CAFTA. neecer wrote: <quoted text> Please provide the proof that she refused her paycheck. I really want to see that. Oh, and more than 1 year please.

The SOCC recommends the pay raises. The legislature gets to vote to except or deny. She really doesn't get a say.. unless of course she decides to give it back. I've yet to see where she does that. I've HEARD that she does that..but haven't seen anything in black and white. No she didn't create NAFTA or CAFTA. You can thank Bush 41 for starting it and Clinton for signing it. But also look at the amount of taxes that are on businesses in this state. We have become VERY unfriendly for businesses in Michigan. Let's also look at the union stronghold we have here that they don't have in the south. THAT has cost us too because Toyota doesn't want to have to deal with the UAW. Do you blame them? Oh, and some of the jobs that have left Michigan? Not all of them have left the country, just the state.

I agree with you on Bush 41 starting Nafta and Clinton signing it. Cafta I believe was just signed by Jr. a few years back. Okay so how can we find out in black in white if she took a pay raise. We might want to start with the freedom of information act. neecer wrote: <quoted text> Ahhh.. but here's the fun part. The SOCC recommends the pay raises.
