Detroit
picks
Rick
Snyder
best
choice
as
Governor
of
Michigan
for the
next 4
years
DETROIT
(Tell Us
Det) -
Our
editorial
committee
has
picked
Snyder
as the
best
choice
for
governor
in 2014
because
of the
success
in his
first
term in
office.
Bringing
the
skills
from the
CEO of a
major
company
and a
corporate
turnaround
specialist
he has
used his
first
four
years in
office
to fix
many of
Michigan's
governmental
problems
along
with
solving
issues
that
have
plagued
our
local
municipalities
for
decades.
In the
earlier
years
prior to
Snyder’s'
arrival
as
governor,
the
State of
Michigan
was
losing
population
and
unemployment
was
running
at one
of the
highest
rates in
the
nation.
but with
Snyder
at the
helm,
unemployment
is down
from its
August
2009
peak of
14.2
percent
to 7.2
percent
this
September,
the
lowest
since
the
spring
of 2008.
Governor
Snyder
tackled
major
tasks
which,
included
a
rewrite
and
simplification
of the
business
tax and
a shift
to tax
retiree
pensions.
He even
created
the path
to take
Detroit
into
bankruptcy
to
address
issues
that had
held the
city
back for
over 40
years.
Despite
what his
critics
say,
Gov.
Rick
Snyder
is
investing
in
higher
education,
giving
more
students
the
chance
to
attend
one of
many
great
colleges
in the
state.
He is
also
giving
parents
new
options
for
their
children
like
flexible
dual
enrollments
for
high-achieving
students
and
greater
alternatives
for kids
who were
stuck
in
struggling
schools.
He has
proven,
that with
proper
management,
Detroit
public
schools
are now getting
better.
With all
kinds of
issues
on the
table,
like
bankruptcy
in
Detroit,
the
emergency
manager
law,
right-to-work
legislation,
taxing
retirement
pensions,
Snyder
has
shown a
credible
plan for
the
state's
future,
and a
proven
track
record
of success.
Rick
Snyder
is
better
prepared
for the
challenges
ahead.
That is
why
TellUsDetroit.Com
has
endorsed
him to
return
as
Michigan
governor.
