URGENT: Call Gov. Granholm (517-373-3400) to tell her what you think about her attack on your retirement

Coalition to Lansing: ‘Stop this recurring budget nightmare’

On the eve of Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s final State of the State address on Wednesday, a citizen coalition called for her and the Legislature to enact a balanced solution to Michigan’s budget crisis. A Better Michigan Future, a group including MEA and many other progressive organizations, advocated a four-point plan to put Michigan back on track. 

The call for action came on Groundhog Day – a human-size groundhog emphasized the need to end our recurring budget nightmare as it unveiled a new video to raise awareness about Michigan’s structural deficit and broken tax structure.
