     MEGA grants/give-aways shouldn't be increase, they should be eliminated.

    Contrary to spin advertising and bogus self-promoting, MEDC adds nothing positive to our economic climate.  Having been on the inside of a few of these "deals" claims of saving jobs and bringing new jobs to Michigan are, at best, grossly overstated. 

    The state should not use public tax money to pick winners & losers in the private sector.  Ever.
