Meddlesome Kids: Did uncertainty over business tax climate cost us Honda?

I don't have time to source all of this right now. Got things I have to do. And I'm exhausted from spending the day in Chicago yesterday (more on that later).

Still, all the ink on DeVos needling Granholm on the Honda deal is bugging me this morning, and I wanted to throw this out there. (because, after all, I am a bomb thrower at heart. You should realize that by now.)

I can't help but think that our tax situation being up in the air, courtesy of DeVos and the foot-dragging Republicans in the legislature, might have had something to do with Honda's decision. Maybe not a lot- it seems they were set on Ohio or Indiana no matter what we did. Many factors went into their decision, I'm sure.

In any event, it was a missed opportunity to punch back on SBT and the DeVos/Patterson team messing up our tax affairs for political purposes. DeVos' tampering with the SBT and the legislature's refusal to deal with it is a prime target. If he is going to make direct criticisms, perhaps it is time for us to do so also.
