Cronyism And Your ChoicesBy JGillman, Section News
Interesting and piece about misplaced generosity today.
The MEDC, under pressure to show successes is feeling the heat as it reports little to no success for all the money taxpayers have ponied up over the years. But hey, as Beck says: "Things are gonna change, I can feel it." The Cap Con reports "Michael Finney says the Michigan Economic Development Corp. has turned over a new leaf.Yeah. In a 'teachable moment' kind of way. Those of you who know me, might have heard the ads I ran for the 104th district State rep seat. Running against one of the biggest supporters of crony capitalism Wayne Schmidt, I felt it might make a difference to talk about that particular blight on public service. The ads said: "My family and I have taken our share of risks pursuing independence and prosperity for over 15 years. Our business has had good and bad years, yet throughout it, we've never asked, nor expected the government to make it any easier through grants or incentives like the ones given to those favored by Lansing's elite.And then asked for a vote in the primary. Unfortunately, I was not successful, and Michigan was rewarded with a third term of pale pastels in Republicanism from the North, expanded medicaid dependency, and implementation of Obamacare in Michigan. One vote perhaps not enough to stop it all, but one that would have ended an incumbency and sent a message. Ask yourself why certain politicians; Snyder, Schauer, etc.. have such difficulty revealing their donors. Could it be those donors are the same people? This will be a short 12 months. Pay attention folks.
