Thank God.

But, but think of what makes Michigan such a great state! Think of the education! Think of the fire and police protection! Think of the social services! Think of the children!

Don't wait for the government to do it. :p

The end result will be higher taxes and bigger government. This is but a temporary slowing down of government growth.
