Thursday Coffee Talk

Happy Thursday! Many thanks again to the Troy Democratic Club for having me out last night for a talk about Online Activism. It was great to see so many fellow bloggers, and so many new folks who are could be potential bloggers.
It looks like it could be an ugly day out, so do your best to stay dry!

• From the Freep: Lesson to the Republicans, invest in our state and businesses will invest in us! The City of Warren is a great example of this.
• From the Detroit News: Forget Phizer, Comerica, focus on Compuware. Chairman Peter Karmanos is here to stay, and has some good advice for the state's leaders.
• Also from the Freep: Got to love this aptly-titled op-ed, GOP should spell out cuts.
• The LSJ: When the state has no idea how the budget will go, you find people and groups are really starting to get scared over what they could get and what they couldn't get. The state's 15 public universities are no different.
• The AP: Governor Granholm said she would issue an executive order over the budget, but will she still? Kathy Barks Hoffman has the scoop. Shame on GOP Saul Anuzis for being as slimy as ever. The latest major faux pas? Criticizing the Governor for taking her daughter to lunch on her 16th birthday. What an $%*!@# (fill in your choice words here)

What's happening in your part of the state? Gab below!
