A year ago, Governor Jennifer Granholm’s state of the state address kicked off a vitriolic year dominated by a tax increase and much lip service to government reforms.
As Granholm prepares this year’s state of the state, Lansing guru and Center for Michigan Steering Committee member Craig Ruff illustrates the well-worn path she trods in putting words to the crises of time.
Glancing through the annals of history, Ruff shows in Dome Magazine that those in the governor’s chair have worried about lobbying reform since at least 1927 and the costs of education and crime and punishment since before the Civil War.
The more things change the more they stay the same!
