Yea! More press! This story got a nice slot on the noon news-
LANSING - Back from her trip to Japan, Governor Granholm this morning signed legislation she says will create 7,100 jobs in the state.
The governor's plan, "Jobs Today, Jobs Tomorrow," will use $80 million from the state to leverage $320 million of federal money to move road projects scheduled for 2007 to this year.
"It will be a slam dunk rapid process so that we can get people to work," Granholm said. "Everyone who sees an orange barrel, as I continue to say, please remember that it represents a job, or more jobs."
Well, next they will probably bitch because there is "too much road construction". These folks are never satisfied. ;-)
