<span style="font-size: larger;">It would appear that the Michigan Legislators are still in the practice of granting corporate welfare to businesses they deem are worthy. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">This as a practice that was common under the Granholm administration and that Governor Snyder swore would stop in his administration. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">I guess the Michigan Senate has determined that they are so business savvy in the area of automative related ventures that they can and will pick who the winners will be.&nbsp; </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">I guess the Senate didn&rsquo;t realize that the&nbsp; electric cars business isn&rsquo;t doing so well. Two weeks ago one of the firms that benefitted from a $100 million state electric car battery subsidy announced the layoff of 125 Michigan workers. I guess they know that this one will work out.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: larger;">The Governor has this one right! The state shouldn&rsquo;t be spending our tax dollars to support ventures that have a proven track record of failures. Actually they shouldn&rsquo;t be in the business of favoring any business at all.</span><br />
