Freep edit page Tuesday Talk with budget director John Nixon

A great Tuesday Talk lined up for today.
Budget Director John Nixon, one of the key architects of Gov. Rick Snyder's 2011-12 budget plan, will talk with readers today at noon.

If you've got questions about the film credits, the earned income tax credit, tax credits in general or the governor's overall approach, Nixon is the guy with the answers.

No matter what you think of the governor''s budget plan, I think you'll find Mr. Nixon to be a contemplative and intelligent policy-maker, someone who has given real thought to Michigan's budget problems, and believes he has a way to solve them.
