Sounds serious...

It's michigan...we're on the leading edge of TSHTF...at least, economically...

Please keep us posted as some can't listen. Thanks in advance!

I'll do some, but most of it should be on the twitter link:

She's getting escorted in right now.

--------> gleefully rubbing hands together....

The governor's twitter link (which is so appropriate, if you know what I mean!):

She's introducing people, Justices and military folks.

Surprisingly postive! lol

"I will not sugarcoat the severity of the crisis facing our state"

Oh no, she'll probably bitch how the "other party" wouldn't work with her in a "bipartisan" way.
That will take at least 25 minutes.
Fucking democrats.

"The days when government could be all things to all people is behind us"

"Fortunately, Michigan now has a friend in the White House who shares our agenda"

Translation: DOOM!

Yep, she's doing that right now...prefaced it with the expected, "I'm not being partisan"

"While our budget situation is difficult, it pales in comparison to many states who haven't made tough choices before"

We will not use Fed. recovery funding to simply survive, but to move further and faster into a better future

I have asked lt. gov. john cherry to lead a comprehensive effort to dramatically change the shape and size of state gov't

18 state departments to 8? (Good luck with that)

Reforming govt, no 9-5 govt in 24/7 world

Welcome to California 2.0

Today, reducing all elected state officials salaries reduced 10%

"I've cut more than any governor in history"

Yep...and Canada Jr.

Crap, lost the audio feed

I will recommend eliminating virtually all earmarks

Closing prisons (9 of them? I missed it)

Fall, thanks so much for keeping us updated. Thats a nice thing to do ;)

We will live within our means and reform gov't, so we can relentlessly focus on what matters most: jobs

Diversifying, but not deserting our major industry (autos).

<Rah-rah union speech blather>

Will keep michigan centered as the "center of the worlds green auto industry"

(which means we're screwed...)

No problem...I'm listening, and it makes me pay attention...kinda!


Some more bragging about a $450 million in film industry money (which is a trickle)

An animation studio going into detroit ($86 million); Stardock systems into plymouth (video games?); motown motion pictures in pontiac (3,600 jobs promised)

Renewable energy is producing "jobs all over"

Did she get to the tax increases yet? She loves to increase our taxes and invent new fees.

Jobs for everyone (wind turbines, solar panels, biorefineries, energy efficient siding, electric car batteries, etc.)

Nah, she'll wait a while, till most people have turned it off, then hit us with a 200% increase, and new rules for living in our little police state...

14,000 car battery workers...

They chose michigan because we decided to take action to create this industry...

New law about using renewable energy, I missed it, but it's the reason she's giving for these places "doing business here".

Most of these announcements are old announcements, she's taking credit for letting taxpayers pay for it? Brilliant...lol

im blown away......

A little Obama puckering...about renewable energy demand increasing...

45% reduction in michigan's use of fossil fuel...10 years...here we go...

Not going to be importing coal anymore...we'll start making solar and wind power, etc.

Going to "let" all residents make money by selling power back to the power company (we already do that, Jenny!)

Utility companies are going to have to change how they charge for power. They'll somehow make money by showing us how to use less money. They'll invest in more efficient products (?!!)

She hit the pipe before this speech, I think

Hit the pipe? I think she dropped acid.

Grahnolm could have had some hotness but always wears pants and never skirt and high heels. Sarah Palin is way hotter and has no problem showing off her thighs.

Jobs paying $10.00 to $15.00 an hour with NO benefits.

Hopefully their generous with pay raises!

: )
