How did she get a post on Obama's economic transition team? Doesn't he have clue about her record in Michigan?

PS. She can't blame Bush for pissing off Pfizer, Volkswagen, Toyota, etc., and raising taxes on the citizens and other businesses in the state.

Remember her campain In 4 years she would blow us away. And she's still blowing.

I live in MI and I think she has been a fine Governor. She inherited a giant mess left by eight years of Engler who engaged in a program of paying off his political supporters before he left the state for his high paying payoff job.

The states main industry, the auto makers and related jobs, disappearing are not her fault.

Considering the mess she's done of good job of staunching the flow, spending responsibly and bringing new jobs here in areas not related to the auto industry.

She is smart and capable.

Hi Lynann,
I am sorry you feel that way. She has not been a good governor for the state. The state was in better shape when she took office. The businesses that she brought in and the one's that remain have not off set the huge losses the state has sustained.
The "big" issue to me is taxes:
1)How can you raise taxes on the citizens and businesses when they are hurting? She should have looked at what services were not essential to the state, instituted spending freezes, and caps on hiring state workers. We as the citizens are paying for state workers out of "our" taxes.
2) We fall into the top 5 catergory in tax rates for the US. A high tax rate is unattractive to businesses and restrictive to growth.
3) You can't pick what businesses you deem worthy to come to your state. Im am glad the film industry is here. A buck is a buck. We need all types of business.

That is my 2 cents!!!
