Granholm is taking too much credit where she doesn't deserve it.

HSC has more than doubled in size in the past few years... and construction in Tennessee has begun. Sure, they'll get more jobs, but that's because they're starting from scratch. And a lot of those jobs will be contractors for constructing the new plant. HSC currently runs around 800 employees, and at least a couple hundred of those were hired in the last 2 years as part of the expansion. And those are permanent employees, not the contractors.

Solar is a booming business. Let's hope it stays that way!

It'll be interesting to see what happens when Granholm's not around anymore and jobs still aren't being created in Michigan fast enough to satisfy anyone. Who to blame????

LOL we can continue to blame Granholm for at least 2-3 years, maybe still get in a few jabs at Engler. Someone might reach waaay back and blame Blanchard now and again. It will be several years before the new Gov. takes any blame, except from those who didn't vote for him (it will start right away from those folks, regardless of who the winner is)
