Rather than reprint the article, maybe Brian can give us more information.
Is the governor as stupid as you make her out to be? Reading the article, the first thing
that came to mind, even before you mentioned it, was NAFTA.
The Governor is very likely to lose the upcoming election to the right winger Dick DeVos who has saturated the airwaves with commercials for 6 weeks (she has none yet) introducing him as a man's man who will create jobs jobs jobs. . .see his site http://www.devosforgovernor.com/
Granholm has to fight a Republican Legislature that takes no prisoners. . . .she is an intelligent liberal but one who is too afraid to lead. . .she has lost the women's vote and Detroit will probably not come out for her (ala Blanchard) in part because of her problems with Mayor Kilpatrick (which she's trying to mend).
As for the enviros. . .how can I say this? PAROCHIAL! Refusing to entertain critical discourse, refusing to contextualize the crises in capitalist discourse, refusing to align with the radicals. . . .way way too close to power to rock too many boats. . .
I have much more on this story about Great Lakes for Sale. . .it's so depressing. . .
