As we prepare to ring in the New Year it seems only appropriate that we reflect back on all that we worked to accomplish in 2007. While there's no question that we faced more than our share of challenges we spent the year working hard to create jobs, ensure a quality education for every child, provide affordable health care for every family and ensure safe places for all Michiganians to live and play.
In these challenging, but productive months:
We replaced the state's Single Business Tax with the fairer Michigan Business Tax and included incentives for research and job creation.
I continued to go anywhere and do anything to attract and retain good paying jobs. My investment missions to Sweden and Germany this year have already created or retained more than 1,000 jobs. http://www.mich.gov/documents/gov/Gov125_Full_219489_7.mp3
