I have lived in Michigan all of my life. I am currently in the US Army 82nd ABN recouping from injuries. I can tell you, unless you give up all of your independent decision making ability to both the State, then the Feds, and then the 501 c (3) environmental extremist who will be on you like stink on sh-t, you will not have a chance in hell of making it.

Currently in my small town, they just passed a anti smoking ordinance that will add to the cost of doing business in Michigan by 100%. Example, the State allows a private business to use existing ventilation system, and decide where to place "no smoking area." The new ordinance makes the small business owner provide a nonsmoking business and requires the business owner build a separate smoking room, with a separate and independent ventilation system to be approved by the local health department. Failure to follow the law and you could be fined 500.00 dollars each violation, and each day of the violation is a separate violation. you do the math! That is at the local level. Georgia Pacific just pulled out with 210 jobs because they could handle the continued micro management of private business at the local level. Second Chance just went bankrupt here in Central Lake.

I wish you all the luck in the world, but, remember, this is a Union State also.

Thank you for your service to our country. I pray that you make a full and complete recovery.
I wouldn't re-locate to any of the rust-belt states to save my life! I was stationed at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio in the mid 70's. This was the second time I had ever been east of the Mississippi my entire life. I saw how the unions and the state and local governments bled businesses dry.
I have heard several radio ads on our local Clear Channel affiliate advertising Michigan as a great state to do business. All you need to do is go to Detroit once. This would certainly change your mind.
Does DeVos have much of a chance of being elected?
