ALMOND JOY PLANT SHUT DOWN AFTER 80 YEARS

[JLDickmon]

Around here it is auto plants. Dodge shut down some plant near Detroit that built magnum engines for their crappy pickups. In my town Ford shut down the Wixom plant that built Lincolns and T birds. I suppose you can blame our economy and our lovely Gov. Granholm. She is strong for increasing taxes and forcing businesses out of Michigan.

that ain't no hit...

she should change the name of the state from Michigan to Taxagain

highest average fuel prices in the nation, highest fuel TAX in the nation, and they can't balance the budget (even with the lottery funding the screwl system)

An to think that she wanted to add another 19 cents per gallon for road taxes and stuff. I really am still upset that she got re-elected. We were hurting before she got re-elected even a chance with another gov. would have been better than to let her stay in.

Now if only my competion would leave the state of Michigan like all the others.
