Granholm: reelection validates her economic plan for Michigan
Granholm: reelection validates her economic plan for Michigan November 8, 2006 Gov. Jennifer Granholm said this morning her re-election was voters’ validation of her economic plan for Michigan. She also said Democratic victories are a strong message to President George W. Bush that his policies are wrong for the nation. “His plan is not the plan of the citizens of this country, and he needs to change direction,” she told reporters at a Detroit restaurant, 11 hours after she triumphantly declared victory Tuesday night. Appearing rested and with her family joining her for breakfast, Granholm said she can better move forward her plans with a Democratic House.She said if the lame duck Legislature doesn’t act, she will push immediately in January for revamping the state’s business taxes, creating a universal health plan for all state residents, easing restrictions on stem cell research and making voting easier with same-day voting registration.“The people of Michigan have affirmed our effort to transform Michigan’s economy,” Granholm said. “We’renot going to slow down for one moment, we’re going to keep the momentum going.”Granholm also called “very, very sad” the defeat of Proposal 2 – the ban on affirmative action in public institutions. She said the state would look at different ways to achieve diversity in the state's work force.Granholm had campaigned hard against the ballot issue.
Outside prop 2 passing it was a good night for Democrats everywhere from Michigan to nationwide look Granholm and Stabenow smoked their Republican challengers, A weaken Michigan Republican party and nationally the Dems kicked ass and took names. But for me the question is what now? For me as of right now I'm looking to take on Jennifer Gratz and her right wing supporters unlike Jenny Gratz I believe we need something to even the playing field and I'll plan to focus the blog on picking Gratz and her supporters apart on this issue. So Jennifer Gratz and your right wing friends enjoy your brief victory because it's not going to last long.
