as mich turns.as mich can't afford,as mich prices rise,as no jobs come to mich,as many need food and housing in mich,as crime rises,as mich looks for budget problems,as mich forces go green,as mich promises students 4,000$ for collage,as mich is in the higest taxes,states wide on ciggs and high gas tax.wants to put more costs on each local governments,raise electic to take burdens off schools and bussiness,forcing more people to pay what they don't have.cuts in important programs get worse.food banks get less,give less.homeless population growing,many counties struggling,can't make budgets with out tax money.jobs avoiding mich,all the remolding of mich did what?good roads?new state police building?flowers planted?movies to be made in mich?trips to california,trips abroad?layoffs,jobs close or move out of state.car companies cut way back.unions can't stop,but many jobs don't want to come here as we are a union minded state.1000 letters on comments do not begin to say what is wrong in mi
and untill crime gets so bad we can expect cut backs concerning law inforcements.many things will get out of hand in mich because our presant government just makes so many mistakes and one mess leads to another.been in mich 65 years and as it gets worse due to what govs do.I just don't believe it.look what we are paying out without enough decent paying jobs,taxes that keep getting added to our lives,raises in all things needed,even food.all in the name of some getting profits,greed.the gov at the white house in the last 8 yrs have lead this nation into ruins.and have gotten away with it.we no longer have many choices.we don't get to vote.the gov tells us.like the no choice on the new HD tv things.whats up with that.don't buy,don't get tv?what kind of cars should be made.go green.just controling our lifes more.they are out of hand.causing more problems for us.don't hurt their wallets,just ours.cuts and more cuts.people can't pay costs.govs won't.but they can force us to go broke.
mich just seems to be haveing one problem after another.while other states are doing much better.Indiana has a 9% sales tax,mich a 6% sales tax.but jobs are more,pay decent,and they have so much more to offer.gas prices are sometimes cheaper than mich.I don't get it.should not jenn be looking at states that are doing so much better and find out WHY.we are loosing services that are nessary,we have many on social programs and are on food cards.jobs have closed,left,keep laying off and this was happening before gas prices got so high.ingler started many problems and jenn has added to.and mich is is so many messes.why is government people allowed to stay in offices when they continue to mess up states or not help states?and why should they be paid for services not given.law makers are part of the system so we need not count on the right laws.what ever is NOT attractng jobs to mich needs changed.persons?places?or things like the wrong tax system.or government.take our pick.
The seatbelt enforcemnt zones are almost always funded by federal grant money OHSP(which is also in short supply these days)
It is a shame that they have to cut so many programs because of this deficit, but how did they get there in the first place? I'm not sure. But I feel like a lot of times there are new and innovative ways to run your business that might also be cheaper since they are more efficient. Maybe they should look into really taking a look at their officers and programs to make sure they are doing them as efficiently as possible, so they don't have to cut back on people and programs.
well now it is time for big lawyers to come forth and start sueing the state when programs get cut which cause people to suffer or die,due to lack of services.pass it onto local gov.of course,jenn gets more money for her foolish things.jobs are what is needed.to make tax money and support this state.but with a state like mich,all its lack of so many things,what bussiness owner would want to come here and bring his family?with the usa economy what bussiness owner could take a chance on mich.none in their right mind.make movies here,sure why not.cut police and many needed services.bigger the city the worse it gets.as crime rises.people can't even afford to buy homes.keep food in their homes for a week,or put much gas in their cars.and now we can't depend on enough police to help out.where will all being laid off get jobs?loss of their jobs will give less tax money.is not that a problem adding to a problem?sounds like mich.cut thy own throats.
I don't understand. If they are so tight on money and can't provide adequate emergency services, why were there were 4 Ingham County Sheriff's officers at a seat belt enforcement zone on Jolly yesterday? Couldn't they be used for emergency calls?? It sure doesn't give the appearance they are in a budget crunch.
