    It is a small victory (5.00 / 1) (#17)

    This budget crisis isn't going to be won be any one hard and fast change.  It is going to take a lot of little changes.

    How can anyone possibly think that by raising our income taxes it will be beneficial?  Everyone is moving out of the state, unemployment is at an all time high, etc.  The income tax would hit the people that can least afford to have it implemented.

    Fiscal responsibility is sorely lacking - why give more money to an administration that has proven a lack of good stewardship?  I believe the number is $1.9billion more in money to spend than that of the Engler Administration.

    Aunt Jenny's way of doing things has always been to rob Peter to Pay Paul.  Creative accounting has always been at play - 2002, for example, the Legislature voted themselves a 40% pay increase... Regular NERE & Union employees of the state gave up over $4,000 each in concessions...  now, where do you suppose that money went to?

    There is going to be massive slashes in all other areas.  Already, Granholm has reduced the amount of money going into employee retirement.
