This statement I am with you 100%.

My point is if Michigan does not get some things straightened out in our economic conditions the people that are “ready to work and are driven” will move to Colorado, the Carolinas, Arizona, Oregon, Florida, Georgia etc... I have seen it all before and it could happen again.

People starting out on the lowest economic rung doesn’t mean they are not intelligent. When and if they see more opportunity to make a better life for themselves and their family with something as simple as moving to another state they will do it.

This state MUST be competitive against other states or it will bleed people and nothing else besides competing and winning some will stop it.
