Tag: Jennifer GranholmBy Corinthian Scales, Section News
History fun factoids:
Michigan Gov. Rick Synder, who appointed Orr as emergency manager Thursday, was acquainted with Orr while at U-M. Snyder, who graduated with a law degree and MBA in 1982, reportedly met Orr during a snowball fight on campus. OK, the tax deadbeat thing aside, let the corruption commence!

Branch President Rev. Wendell Anthony said there is no way an emergency financial manager can come in over the next 18 months and fix problems that have taken 50 to 100 years to develop. Who in the Hell in their right mind would want that? Their coveted Obamessiah isn't sending them any bacon. It's time for Lansing to stop scratching Ilitch's, Penske's, and Gilbert's back with the rest of the states tax dollars, too. Send LBJ's resulting "Model Cities" Detoilet to bankruptcy.

Who is this paleface Irish turd trying to fool? Try remembering July 27, 2004
If approved by U.S. District Judge Paul Borman, McCann, of Livonia, faces six to 12 months in prison and up to a $20,000 fine. Nice of then AG Granholm, to stall for her corrupt Wayne County friends, yes? (1 comment) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Details forthcoming on the Granholm/Dillon era Democrat dystopia since 2005.
Folks, get ready to open your wallets for the DitherNerd's whims of saving Detoilet... All Hail Bill Milliken! By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Obamacare mandate blocked.
Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette today announced that a federal judge has issued a ruling blocking the implementation of a controversial U.S. Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate that would force religious employers to violate their religious and faith-based beliefs by providing insurance plans that cover services, including abortion-inducing drugs, that conflict with those beliefs. In other words, keep your vagina out of my wallet. (8 comments) Comments >> By Conservative First, Section News
This column by Nolan Finley of the Detroit News draws some uncomfortable parallels between the current presidential race and Michigan's 2006 gubernatorial race between Jennifer Granholm and Dick DeVos.
Finley: Obama using Granholm's playbook In both races, there was a charismatic but incompetent democrat incumbent running against a Republican rich businessman challenger. In both cases, the democrats blamed the preceding Republican for the poor state of the economy and claimed that it would otherwise be worse. They attacked the Republican challengers for being rich and falsely claimed they outsourced jobs. Of course, there are some differences as well. Romney has actually won an election before, and he has a much broader fundraising base. 2006 was an anti-republican wave, which 2012 shows no signs of being. The strategy of letting a bad economy sink an incumbent certainly can work. But it can also fail if the incumbent is clever enough about blaming others for the economic problems and insisting that "it would have been worse otherwise" (which cannot be conclusively disproven, after all).

A state fund intended to create 390 Michigan jobs has loaned $7.7 million to 35 companies and created 79 jobs - only 20 percent of the number initially promised. Gummint creates jobs? Never has even with coercive theft wealth redistribution. What he said. By Corinthian Scales, Section News

A123 in April received a two-year extension on its deadline to spend a $249.1 million grant from the federal government, originally received in 2009. The money was to be used for the construction of new lithium-ion battery manufacturing facilities in Michigan. A123's Livonia plant opened in 2010, and its Romulus plant opened last year. The company had $120 million left of the $249.1 million grant. But dammit, when it's a taxpayer funded hole you just put 400 new hands on the shovel to keep on digging.
