Excellent interview, Nick.
I found Pete's comments on "Right to Work" initially disturbing as well until I considered the fact that he's running as a Republican for governor in the state of Michigan. Considering the high number of "Reagan Democrats" that once resided here, if there are any left that might vote for Hoekstra, treading softly on Right to Works is a smart move.
My biggest concern is that whoever we nominate and hopefully elect will only end up being "Jenny-lite."
The more time I spend considering it, the more I believe this state needs dramatic change in the Right direction. I'm talkin' ripping the current state tax code to shreds and re-writing it to encourage massive and quick job growth, dismantling the bureaucracy that views employers as prey, scrapping our current education system and replacing it with real choice and real vouchers and merit pay for teachers and making tenure a thing of the past.
Anything less than revolutionary change in our state will be tantamount to rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic.
