In Mississippi. 2,000 new jobs will be created.

Good for them. That state has the largest unemployment in the nation.

Soon it will be Michigan.

Be safe.

Well that's good. There was anoucment that Georgia will get another plant soon but I didn't catch who it was.

But.....

Michigan has been numbr one for unemployed people - if you count people who went off of unemployment which is the proper way it should be looked at. One of my former co-workers who was working on his doctorate when we were laid off just got a job within his profession. He was delivering pizzas and cleaning toliets to get by. We still have the worst governor in the nation.

Gregg334:

I was at the Blue Cross / Blue Shield building this afternoon on East Lafayette. Lots of tickets being written between Luna Pier and the city limits on I-75 both directions.

For a poor state with so many interstates and so many trucks, doesn't it make you wonder why Michigan doesn't have any toll roads?

They are surrounded by states that generate income using this type of tax, so Michigan wouldn't be doing anything ground-breaking.

Is there a particular reason why they don't ??

Be safe
