This could really spell the end for the renovation of historic buildings and toxic sites.

Synder says Michigan needs a healthy Detroit but he's gonna kill one of the things that has brought development to the city.

That's exactly what came to mind when i read this.

Sigh..... who would have thought the day would come when we'd have to 100% agree with
George Jackson!

[BrushStart]

The article is right. Many of these developments would never have happened without incentives. Who is going to develop a toxic lot when the could just develop the one across the street? It will end up rotting forever.

Are you all glad that most of you voted for the NERD. His revenge on liberal regionalization even on Detroit is getting bigger. He's worst than Granholm and 10,000 times worse than Engler. He's downsizing Michigan and he's got to stop.

[Big Dog]

Lots of people are sorry, they didn't vote for Bernaro. They should have known, when Snynerd, would not debate much or say much, during the campaign. Now you know the reason. You were snowed by Snynerd. Yes, I am spelling his name correctly.

Other than writing letters to the Gov., any ideas as to what the common folk can do to show their disappointment in this proposal? Any planned get togethers? Maybe not in Lansing, but in front of the David Whitney? It would be pretty striking to show the Broderick being renovated with these tax credits then show how Snyder's plan would kill the Whitney's hope for revival.

This is just so disappointing coming from a governor who claims he cares about Detroit.

Snynerd wants a strong Detroit... By Detroit he means Troy. Or Auburn Hills.

This is what he means by having strong cities. He is for some "urban" areas... If they are Ann Arbor or downtown Royal Joke.

Snynerd claims to be from Ann Arbor but he lived in a subdivision miles outside of the town.

Has he ever step foot in a real Detroit city neighborhood too see the true extent of the destruction?

Has he ever made an extended stay in a functioning major urban city to see what can be done for Detroit?

Snynerd knows nothing about what is needed for Detroit or any of Michigans non-white cities.

Completely agree with the quote in the article "The state should not pick winners and losers" That is exactly what the tax credits allow state officials to do.

Do you know how much money Beale had to spread around Lansing to get his?

Good for Snyder.

Gee... your response was of no surprise here...

I'm sure that Beale is one of the top deep pocketed people around Lansing taking our tax dollars.... sound right?

And all of those historic buildings should be struggling on their own... survivial of the fittest [[or should I say newest).... am I right again?

Let's let all the big time corporations have their lobbyists take the people's money.... screw our architectural heritage.... so are we on the same page now?

Maybe now DTE, Bridgestone and other corporations will be off the hook for letting the Uniroyal site be remediated.... lets leave that weed strewn toxic dump of an eye sore for our grandkids to worry about....

Stinkytofu --

The State House and Senate now get to deliberate and figure out what parts of the budget will change and how they will change. They all keep home office coffee hours and can meet in person for appointments on Mondays and Fridays. In lieu of that, calling and writing physical letters is also good. The governor doesn't just get to say. The legislature must approve it.

Funny username.

The state is taking money from the schools to absorb into the state bloatocracy. Where are the state level cutbacks? They are all local.

[Cincinnati_Kid]

Not only the Detroit cuts, but he's willing to break the backs of Senior's by allowing their pensions to be taxed, which is just wrong. It's hard enough to pay for anything on a pension as it is now and he wants more $$ to come out of it? He's already rich, so it won't affect him. He's nuts, Can you spell recall??

In the case of the poster you were replying to, that's usually self-evident. No need to point out the obvious.
