MORNING UPDATE:
DETROIT CHAMBER CONFERENCE...we did a series of radio, TV and print interviews about the upcoming general election. McCain 44%-40% lead over Obama was the main talk on the political news.
LEADERSHIP...dominates the discussion about what this state needs. There is clearly a general frustration amongst Republicans and Democrats that until we have some bold ideas and real leadership...things are not going to change.

MORNING UPDATE:
DETROIT CHAMBER...starts their meeting on Mackinac Island today as leaders from around the state gather to discuss policy issues. Attorney General Mike Cox, Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop and House Republican Leader Craig DeRoche led the Republican contingency on the island.
CHAMBER OPENING SESSION...JUST MORE OF THE SAME...they discussed "bi-partisanship" and the idea of looking for solutions that first appeared to all require bigger government, more revenues, which means more taxes. And oh yeah, by the way, there needs to be some structural reforms as well. I felt like I sat through a session of a failed Democratic Party Platform committee session where Governor Granholm was going to promise to "blow us away"...again. No one represented the taxpayers...the guys who pay the bills for all these great ideas.
