It's nice that politicians recognize that taxes are too high, but they're too high for everyone in Michigan, not just those lucky enough to be on the inside of a box drawn by politicians to favor those in a particular geographic area. |
That's practically business as usual. Given Michigan's recession and Detroit's past budget difficulties, it's not what I'd hoped for. But there does seem to be some restraint here, and that's a silver lining. Thirty-five million is a tiny increase in regards to the budget. |
