I lived in that state through most of his years as governor. He left the state in a fiscal mess, the workers comp got screwed up, taxes went skyhigh and many employees had to go with payless paydays in order to balance the budget. Many businesses left the state.When Detroit Mayor Coleman Young called Milliken an M------ F----er, Milliken issued no response. How wimpish. Milliken even rebuffed Reagan's offer to be Ambassador to Canada. According to the book, "Out of the Smoked Filled Rooms", that was written by former Michigan Congressman Neil Staebler, Milliken told Staebler, that if his (Milliken's) father had not been a Republican, he (Milliken) would have been a Democrat. Don't you just love closet liberals??

I think he was only a "republican" since he's from Traverse City.

Dems don't win in Grand Traverse County.
