It is up to the free market to regulate the prices, not the government. The congress has no business regulating the price of a consumer item. These government intrusions have been a large part of the economic problems in this country. Let the free market decide. Government get out of this. It is none...

This appears to be a totally useless waste of legislators' time! Lets STOP with the constant, continuous regulation/certification of everything! Ths is meant to be exclusionary-that's the only reason for it. I though you people had more to do!

HB 5522 should pass. Any law that encourages taxpayers to pay more for services is flawed. Instead of impoverished construction workers, replace it with: wealthy surgeons. Taxpayers can't award a contract to a surgeon willing to work for $500,000 because the prevailing rate in town is $600,000? How...

With all the unemployment and jobs and people leaving michigan, wouldn't it be smarter to remove the income tax and start taxing food? People will always buy food, Michigan will have money to keep going. Why don't we do something good for Michigan instead of making more detramental decisions...

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...

Whaaat? You singlehandedly want to increase my AUTO insurance? MI residents cannot afford to pay more for ANYTHING ELSE!

106. Eliminate all forms of "Income Tax" in Michigan. Implement the FairTax as outlined at www.MIFairTax.org , or www.FairTaxMI.org . The National site is simply www.FairTax.org , for the entire elimination of the IRS and implementing the FairTax through the country on the Federal level. Also...

I see that the United States posted at #7, with an 80.7 score. That is disturbingly close to slipping from "Free" to "Mostly Free". I wonder what shape our economy would be in if we tried to post the high score. I'm willing to bet that it would be cooking right along. http://www...
