If you want a plan from DeVos you gotta wait for it

DeVos To Voters: Sorry, It's Going To Be A Few More Months Before You See My Plan DeVos' continuous delays are a stark contrast to Granholm's bold economic plan LANSING - Appearing Monday on WDTK's Kevin Fobbs Show in Detroit, GOP gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos told Michigan voters that it's going to be at least a few more months before he has a plan for the state's economy. During the show a caller asked, "Mr. DeVos, you've been running for Governor for something like you know 5 or 6 months now, and all you have done is criticize Governor Granholm without offering any solutions whatsoever. Why is that?" DeVos answered, "…I hope they (Michigan voters) allow me a few more months to be able to put together my plan. Because I definitely will put forward a plan for Michigan." "DeVos has been in the race for over a half a year and now we find out its going to be at least a few more months before he has a plan for Michigan's economic future," said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer." At this rate, Michigan voters will be lucky to have a plan from DeVos before November." A caller then asked, "The Governor signed this jobs package that invests $2 billion in Michigan and according to this information that it creates 10,000 new jobs, is that enough in order to help jumpstart this economy or is there - will this actually do the job?" DeVos answered, "Well, the work that has been done by the Governor to the Governor's credit is in the right direction." "Dick DeVos' continuous delays are a stark contrast to Governor Granholm, whose plan to invest $2 billion into Michigan will diversify the state's economy and create tens of thousands of new high-paying jobs," said Brewer. "The choice for Michigan's voters could not be clearer." The only other thing DeVos has done, besides criticizing the Governor and offering no plan of his own, is trying to block a bipartisan agreement between the Governor and Republicans in the Legislature on a jobs package. Republican Representatives stated that DeVos and his wife Betsy personally called them demanding that they break their agreement with the Governor. But in the end, a majority of Republicans endorsed her plan and decided that Michigan jobs were more important than DeVos' political ambitions.
