    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.

    "Gone are wild bets on unproven technologies," the president and CEO of the quasi-governmental and private entity said in a recent press release.

    Finney's comments came in response to what he called, "overheated news reports," of an Auditor General report that said only 19 percent of the original jobs projected by the MEDC came to fruition. Finney said that the report also concluded the program was "effective."

    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.

    Yet we still pay for those incentives. And so do you.

    In fact, our incumbent representative recently expanded those incentive gimmicks with HB5477, costing us even more.

    Picking of winners and losers continues in Lansing, yet the chosen winners often fail. And what the the bureaucrats risk, is not their own paycheck, but ours

    Its time to stop this practice of political constituency. Its time to send a champion to fight for you in Lansing, to challenge the increasing bureaucratic mess that threatens our very liberty. To stop political reward schemes, and pandering to those who would bankrupt the state's ability to pay its bills."

    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.

    Lack of Choices (5.00 / 1) (#1)

    If the state Republican establishment get their way the Turd will be back for four more. Marxist Schauer would be worse then Jennirick but not by much. We do need an alternative to both. I for one will not support any candidate supported, choosen or funded by the establishment next year. Snyder and Terri Lynn Land are not even on the list. Michigan could be doing a hell of a lot better then it is. When I look at Texas, North Dakota and a few other states that have repudiated the norm they seem to have it together. Michigan needed RTW and I am glad it passed. I had advocated for this for years and I believe it will help. But it is only a first step. Fair Tax needs to be next and then regulation reform big time. We need to sweep away the failed and punative anti-business regulations put in place by the Wicked Witch from Canada left as her failed and destructive legacy. We need to make Michigan a place that businesses want to expand in and locate here. But with Detroit and some of the other stupid ass things that the so called leadership have done to this state for the last 11 years it is a hard impression to overcome.
    I for one will not vote the party line next year. I will however support the most Conservative person running for a particular office. No more half measures for me.
