Open Letter to Jennifer Granholm, Governor of Detroit and other outstate communities
By John | August 2, 2008
Dear Jennifer:
Jennifer! Jennifer! I’m afraid I have bad news. You remember “Scottville”, that obscure little town located somewhere over there in Western Michigan? You know, the one you imposed your infamous “Main Street” program on - the program that was going to turn that little town around and demonstrate the benefits of your economic program?
Well, anyway, Steve’s Great Food and Spirits, a downtown fixture in Scottville for over 60 years, is closing! I mean, how ungrateful! I know your administration is spending big bucks dressing up the facades of downtown Scottville. And now the businesses behind those facades are closing!
Wait a minute. I think I get it. New facades on unoccupied buildings. Just like those Hollywood film studios. You are going to use Scottville to produce movies with your elitist friends from California. You can pretend the town is still occupied with real people, like in the olden days before high taxes and excessive government regulations drove all of the businesses to other states.
So, never mind. I see you have everything under control.
Your humble servant,
John L. Pehrson
