I read this Op-Ed on the Freep this morning.

We all know Michigan needs jobs and to attract talent. But what this Op-Ed says is that we are moving in the opposite direction. I don't know the answer. I do know that none of the many people I know that have left Michigan went to those states listed with the best business climate. Maybe people wil start flocking to the states with the best business climate in the future? Again, I don't know. I do know that you need more than low taxes for business to attract talent. Maybe if you match the wages paid in NY, MA, Metro DC, etc. you could attract them but would that cancel out the tax benefits? *shrugs* Hopefully some of the members of this forum more informed than me can give some insight on this. I think this is important to Detroit and Metro-Detroit's turn-around.
