Comments on: SPECIAL REPORT: AN INSIDE LOOK AT MICHIGAN’S REGIONAL ECONOMIES http://www.thecenterformichigan.net/special-report-an-inside-look-at-michigan%e2%80%99s-regional-economies/ Tue, 06 Sep 2011 18:31:23 +0000 hourly 1 By: Nancy Bliss http://www.thecenterformichigan.net/special-report-an-inside-look-at-michigan%e2%80%99s-regional-economies/comment-page-1/#comment-3283 Nancy Bliss Wed, 13 Jan 2010 18:52:12 +0000 http://www.thecenterformichigan.net/blog/?p=1960#comment-3283 Some people blame unions, others blame taxes, and some blame both. It looks to me like we don't market our state effectively. We've had the bad press attracted by Detroit politics and unfortunately the neighboring cities don't work hard enough to offset the negatives. Sometimes the Oakland County Executive joins in the the complaining. The auto industry has been taking a beating, especially the auto worker. Buying American is an act of loyalty, patriotism,and economic sense, but greed has been king for the past decade along with beating up on one's neighbor. He's a better citizen than many others. Michigan must change its image. Some people blame unions, others blame taxes, and some blame both. It looks to me like we don’t market our state effectively.

Michigan must learn that we have to compete with the states here in the midwest at a minimum but also the world. We can no longer live here in our own little world. It is nice when people can get what they want but there comes a time when we must do what is necessary for the state to prosper. That time is now. This is very important information.
