Someone Gets It!

In an earlier post entitled "spending money to make money" i said that we need to begin investing in our communities if we want to grow our economy. That's what the Michigan Municipal League believes we ought to be doing. They've asked the state to fulfill its end of a long-standing partnership in making sure that essential services provided at the local level....those services that help to provide a high quality of life in our hometowns -- gets properly funded. Well folks at the Detroit Free Press are listening. This editorial pretty much says it all when it comes to why investing in communities is the key to attracting, retaining and growing jobs in our state.
