I said it in 07

I said it in 07 and look it's 09, I guess someone read my blog. For those of you who don't know what I am talking about, on October 1, 2007 after that dreadful state meeting, our lovely representatives chose to raise taxes to fix our "deficit". Well it's now February 3, 2009 and our lovely Governor Jennifer Granholm, gave her seventh State of the State Address. Guess what was apart of her plan? "As expected, Granholm proposed an end to the Michigan State Fair, a freeze on tuition rates, elimination of 10 state departments, a 10 percent pay cut for elected state officials etc... In October 1, 2007 I said "I wrote each Legislature and I told them that I thought a small tax increase would be understandable. However, a reduction by 10% to the salaries would be a good look for Michigan as well". Thank you, Thank you Thank you.

Why does the tax payers have to suffer? The Governor said that Michiganders will have to see the worse before we can see the better... I don't think that is right but she's the boss. Michigan as a whole is in bad shape but I am particularly concerned about Detroit. The City is failing, the schools are failing and houses are empty all over. What can we do to change the situation that we are in today? I must say that I do not have all the answers to everything, but I sure can place in my bets.

The good news is, Detroiters are now noticing the bad seeds and hopefully we will now plant new and improved seeds in the City of Detroit. I say that they all need to go, but that is just my opinion. I was driving downtown Detroit and I could not help but notice the lack of excitement it has. I mean what is our current Mayor doing? I will not get so much into that, because this was just an "I told you so" edition.

Please believe that in 2009, you will hear alot more from Ms. Danyelle Coleman. Keep It Real Detroit!
