    If the taxes and regulations weren't so oppressive there wouldn't be a need for this. Also why shouldmy money be used to subside somebody else.

    The book Hollywood Hypocrites talks about this quite a bit. It's a financial debacle soaking up more tax dollars. Just what MI needs.

    Hello IMONSTRIKE2,
    Isn’t it wonderful when the Hollywood types show up to take advantage of tax breaks for themselves but provide no return, while promoting the idea that others aren’t paying enough in taxes? Granholm was a disaster for our state. I can’t believe she got a TV show. Now I understand why she pursued it. She was an aspiring actress when she was younger. Actually that helps illuminate a lot of her policy decisions during her tenure…
    Regards,
    O.A.
