Michigan is going to have to start weaning its way off the trough, and in the mean time, the special interests that had their pie expanded with fed money are going to scream like banshees if "their stuff" is touched.

This is a first year.

From a business perspective I want to make something clear. in my view, value added (manufacturing or labor intensive) small businesses now have some of the best environment to work in under the new tax code.  The only obstacle remaining is the forced unionization element.  

And THAT is going to change.
