- Saul Anuzis brags about how Dick DeVos embarassed Michigan:
"Last week Dick DeVos sent a letter to Gov. Mitch Daniels of Indiana to congratulate him on landing the Honda plant and to offer fair warning that when he is Governor of Michigan, getting these plants won’t be so easy.
In the letter, Dick DeVos said: “Michigan won’t be the same hunting ground for you after Jan. 1, 2007, if the voters choose change and elect me Governor. When the DeVos administration begins working for Michigan by implementing our Turn Around Plan, your competition will be “raising the bar” and providing stiff competition for you here in the Midwest.”
He added, “Unlike the current administration, which apparently believes it is okay for the 2,000 jobs to be in Greensburg, Indiana, my focus will be on bringing good paying jobs to Michigan. For the past few years we’ve watched too many of our residents move into and begin working in the Hoosier state, and I am determined to bring that to an end.”
Note: About the relationship between Indiana & Japan, Daniels said this: “The ties between Indiana and Japan are decades old, as evidenced by Lafayette’s Subaru plant.” But what he meant was, “Engler is the dumbass who closed the trade office in Japan.”

These are the kind of articles that everyone should read and read throughly! What arrogance. But we already knew that. I think that “Dickless Michigan” is a great title for a regular feature! I’ll keep my eyes peeled for info too! Educating one mind at a time!
