Speculation of course, but we have seen it before.  I believe it was a certain Detroit executive who had a comfy job waiting for him with a contractor of Detroit after the term that was so rudely interrupted by a jail sentence..

But really, Lets just take a look at the here and now.

This executive has plans.  There is a reason she won't cut spending.  The logical place where the spending might actually happen would likely be with her "boyz in the Trades..." er ..umm I mean in the government employment sector.  They have done so much for her.  Loyalty is a special thing you know.

Its so special she would raise your Medical costs as noted further in Crains article:

"enactment of a 3 percent tax on physicians' gross receipts that would leverage more federal money for the Medicaid program."

I am hoping that most of you understand what gross receipts are.  That is the top of the bill, the price you pay, the whole ticket. What it means is that for every dollar you spend on your health care, you will be looking at spending another $0.30 more.  Don't think the doctors can or will absorb a gross tax without passing it along.  Understand that she wants to TAX YOU.

So she can give it back to you.

But HEY what the heck, she is cutting your sales tax by 0.5%!  Woot!  Oh wait..  now there is that nasty service tax addition..

"Overall, about 150 state services would be subject to the tax, raising about half a billion dollars for schools. The state has not compiled a definitive list of what would qualify for the tax."

Don't know? Considering past results (2007) it all depends on which service industry ponies up the best defense.  And we know SEIU will be there to (and probably successfully)defend its operators..

My advice to Legislators.. Throw it out.  One ounce of consideration to Jenny's plan cannot end well for the citizens of Michigan.  She would likely produce a higher quality budget by scratching off a mega millions lottery ticket.  The amount of "restructuring" she has proposed is simply to hide higher spending, and favorable distribution to preferred interests.  Start it over and build from the ground up.  Her plan is bad.
