LG Chem to build new electrolyte production plant in Holland, MichiganGovernor-elect Rick Snyder Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today announced that LG Chem, the South Korea-based advanced battery manufacturer with operations in Michigan, will establish a new electrolyte production plant in Holland, Michigan, expanding […]

How the HELL did Democrats get their clocks cleaned so thoroughly in Michigan on Tuesday? THIS is how: About 3.3 million, 45% of the state’s 7.28 million registered voters, participated in the midterm elections, according to unofficial returns. In contrast, turnout for the last two gubernatorial elections was 47.3% in 2002 and 53.6% in 2006. When Dems stay home on […]

I know Mark Ouimet is popular in Ann Arbor but when you look at the mounting evidence, I urge you to take a second look at Scio Township Trustee Christine Green (Democrat) if you’re even thinking about voting for Mr. Ouimet. First there Ouimet’s abuse of the per diem system as a County Commissioner. Another good link HERE. Then there […]

Michigan political reporter Tim Skubick noted last week on his blog that Michigan Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Snyder wouldn’t take selling the Mackinac Bridge off the table. Absolutely serious. The Mackinac Bridge is a Michigan icon. It is often how our state is represented in graphical form. Completed in 1957, it was built without the use of a single taxpayer […]

Christine Green will a […]

Tim Walberg has finally agreed to a debate sponsored by the AARP bringing to four the total number of debates between him and Democratic incumbent Mark Schauer in Michigan’s 7th District. Walberg had been holding off on accepting the AARP’s debate invitation because he felt they were beholden to the Democratic Party, calling them a “Democratic organization.” Asked Thursday what […]

I’m sorry but the only description I can come up with after reading this is “weasel”. The Michigan League of Conservation Voters shouldn’t hold its breath waiting for Republican Rick Snyder to answer a questionnaire mailed to both gubernatorial candidates this week… The Ann Arbor businessman “doesn’t fill out questionnaires,” Snyder spokesman Bill Nowling said. Snyder plans to ignore the […]

The Hill is reporting that MI-07 Democratic incumbent Mark Schauer is now in a tied-up race with Tim Walberg. After trailing Walberg in the polls all summer, Schauer is now tied at 41%. Walberg leans among Independents by only 2% (37% to 35%). The tightest race among the 12 [polled] is in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, a contest that has […]

I have received four robocalls against Christine Green, the Democratic candidate for the 52nd state House district. The robocalls are from a woman who speaks without once saying where she’s from. She does not mention Mark Ouimet, Green’s GOP opponent. There are also literature pieces being mailed into the 52nd district. I have heard that these robocalls are happening in […]
