Ohio Newspaper Blasts Michigan Political Leadership
Its bad enough when the Free Press chastises the Michigan governor and legislature for political posturing and general stupidity, as has in recent editorials. But when a newspaper from neighboring Ohio takes the Governor and legislature to task, it’s downright embarrassing.
In a recent editorial in the Toledo Blade, the editors blast the political stonewalling in Lansing, and make a particular point of the damage that cuts to school funding will do:
Slashing school funding won’t help Michigan regain its economic equilibrium and, in fact, will accelerate the state’s plunge into disarray. Underfunded schools won’t attract new business and industry but will only repel what the state needs most - growth.
The same is true of support for higher education, as citizens of Ohio know only too well.
No one likes tax increases, but Michigan Senate Republicans have an obligation to stop stonewalling and join with the Democratic governor and House of Representatives to work out a quick solution to this looming fiscal crisis.
