Michigan is back in business. Everybody back to work.

UPDATED 1:46am The government shutdown is effectively over. The Michigan House and Senate have passed continuation budgets - literally buying time while they sort things out. The governor's office says the governor will sign those bills and that state employees are to report to work later this morning. There's still a lot of work to do - the budget crisis continues. And lawmakers still have to work out how much - or how little money schools will get. But the big news is that after an hour and a half - Michigan's government shutdown of 2009 is over and state employees should report to work.

Thanks for the prompt reply . As a Kiwi I can only wish Michigan a quicker then expected economic recovery . To my mind the best thing that could happen is that the hybrid cars that the US auto sector is tied to making via the bailouts prove to be very commercial successful .

Cheers xpert11 .

That's good news (if even only temporary)

I wonder what the end result is going to be? It's obvious that Michigan can't sustain it's current budget levels. I wonder what services will receive more cuts and thereby putting more people on the unemployment line?

Don't worry your empire might get it's chance, the state budget is only temporary and its just a stop gap measure to keep the state running.

The sad truth is this.

Due to the current state of the economy in Michigan. The government of Michigan will have to be downsized considerably in order to fall within a sustainable and economically feasible frame.

Large cities will have to shrink to only have services that encompass a smaller area.

All state employees will have to take a pay cut.

It doesn't make sense to raise taxes at this point. Not enough people are still working to make a tax hike feasible. Shrinking the size of the state government is however feasible.

True. I think that the tax hike on state taxes proved that a few years ago....thanks to Granholm. Did this state wonders!!!!

I was born and raised in Indiana...and always hated it for the most part...but cripes...MIchigan is TERRIBLE.

If there is ever a riot of the poor and unemployed...it will be California and Michigan first.

Corporate disinfo can only mislead people for so long. Eventually people will figure out that they keep losing no matter whom they are trying to believe in.
