Why should'nt jennifer Granholm hold office in Michigan?

Question

I'm writing a paper and I need reasons why she shouldn't be in office, im looking for reasons and websites and newspaper./magazine articles to back up the reasons, Please help!

Answer 1

I think she is doing the best she can with what she was handed, she has her hands somewhat tied with a repuglican state senate. I can give you no reason she should not be in office as she was fairly elected.

edit: I am sure if you google why repuglicans hate Granholm or anything about it you will find some sort of misrepresentation.

Answer 2

There must be a multitude of websites giving the facts for reasons that she should no longer hold office. During the last election she was the lesser of the evils but she has done nothing to prove that she deserved the office that she was elected to again.

She is allowing Michigan, once a great manufacturing state, to become a virtual ghost state by allowing businesses to flee the state for a number of reasons one being that they no longer get the tax breaks they once did.

She has allowed the auto industry to die a slow and painful death yet has wooed one of it's biggest competitors (Toyota) to come to the state. She has not done enough to make Washington and the rest of the country aware what the failing auto industry has done to the economy of Michigan and will inevitably do to the rest of the whole country.

Every time a cut needs to be made it seem like some of the school funding gets the ax. The lottery alone cannot support the schools.

She allows Canada to import mountains of trash into the state.

She doesn't do enough to protect one of the biggest resources that Michigan has, the Great Lakes.

The lawmakers keep getting raises as the state slowly but surely sinks into oblivion.

There is a reason that Michigan is tied with North Dakota as the state people are leaving the fastest and have the second highest unemployment rate in the country. One of the main reasons is Jennifer Granholm.

Answer 3

During Granholm’s first year in office, she made a significant number of budget cuts. She was upset by proposals to cut state funding to social welfare programs, such as homeless shelters and mental health agencies. During an interview, she reflected on the proper perspective of budget cuts:

"Often those who cloak themselves in a cape of religiosity happen to be some who are the biggest cutters. Now, some of that can balance out. But when you get to cutting the services for the least of these -- in the 25th chapter of Matthew in the 37th verse the Lord says, 'Whatsoever you do to the least of these, so also you do unto me' -- that's when I question whether somebody is really living out the faith that they profess."
The interviewer noted that Granholm would be criticized, but she hoped that everyone would “keep those values in mind . . .through the budget process.” Betsy DeVos, the chair of the Michigan Republican Party, was upset that Granhom had decided “to cloak her views on balancing the budget in religious terms in order to demonize her political opponents.” Granholm responded that she did not think her response was controversial, and she said that many people of faith are serving in state government

Answer 4

Other than her incompetence in the face of the economic meltdown going on in Michigan?

Nothing. No reason. She meets all the legal requirements, and received the majority of the votes.

Answer 5

Some would argue that since she was not born in the US she should not hold office. But it all depends on the state laws on that topic.
