My husband and I moved to New Hampshire from the upper peninsula of Michigan because I was beginning graduate school and he could not find a good job (with health care) to support us. We had no choice but to move to Rindge, NH where he was offered a job. Unfortunately Michigan has the highest unemployment rate of the entire country and its economy has been struggling for years. We are lucky to have the ability to move,however, others do not have that luxury. We miss our families and hope that my graduate degree will allow us to move back to Michigan's beautiful upper peninsula, as soon as I graduate next year.
all these discussions about state revenue and its spending are useless....state revues are simply payment for services provided. Citizens can have whatever taxes they want - they simply have to say what services they are willing to give up. A previous caller talked about medicaid and food stamps. Is he saying we should stop providing medical care or food to those in need?
