You want to slam the Republicans?  Go right ahead.  It is DECEMBER- two months AFTER the budget was supposed to be adopted. The Governor's first lame attempt went down in absolute flames with the business community, not to mention the fact that it would have cost more to implement than the State would collect.  There's some great planning. What do the residents of this battered state get?  More dodging of responsibilities by the House Majority Leader.

I can hardly wait to see what you Democrats come up with for new taxes for the next budget, because you're going to need it.  Property values are declining, and Oakland County is already looking at a $5 million decline in property tax revenues.  How many more millions of dollars will be lost due to declining property values?  Businesses will close as a result of this ridiculous super tax-on-tax just passed, which will decrease sales and SBT tax revenues. So you and your feckless leader will have an even deeper hole to dig out of.
