The Weekly Editorial
Gary Wilson's essay this week entitled Michigan focuses on the economic plights of Michigan, and looks at how the s tate government's tendency to "sell off its natural resources" has played a role in causing this.
He writes,
"While I haven’t given up, I am struggling to be optimistic.
Michigan’s problems are broader than a tough economy. Its leaders seem
to lack a certain vision and will to deal with the new economic and
environmental realities."
