what the hell's wrong with her?

Michigan is seriously in debt and losing money fast. They need to cut spending. I guess this was the best she could come up with other than her plans of raising taxes.

Because the Republicans want to cut the current budget and the Democrats want to raise taxes. Neither one wants to compromise so we don't have a budget that balances for the next fiscal year.
I think Granholm is bullying everyone to come up with a plan or the consequence is a shut down. So it forces them to compromise (hopefully). I work for the State of Michigan so I don't want it to shut down.

It's not just her. The Senate(Republican led) and the House(Democrat led) cannot come to an agreement on a budget. If they cannot do so by Sunday, the State will have to shut down. They haven't even been able to get a bill to her to sign or veto.

Well, apparently the new fiscal year starts on October 1 and there is no budget in place. No money, no government. Same as Pennsylvania a little earlier this year. Gets the politicians off their duffs to get a budget passed.
