    A better idea ... (none / 0) (#2)

    I've got a better idea. Rather than gimmicks, rather than "incentives" for favored companies and industries, why not incentivize all businesses to grow by reducing the business taxes and improving the regulatory regime. Here's why this is critical (from www.michiganturnaroundplan.com):

    "Companies pay on average 3-4% more on state and local taxes in Michigan than the state we most often compete against for manufacturing or knowledge jobs. In today's global economy, that is the difference between whether or not you make a profit.

    "Business CEO's and site location consultants view Michigan's business climate as among the worst of all fifty states. These perceptions are driven by their views on the cost and ease of doing business in Michigan."
