I am currently an economic consultant residing in Rose Towsnship.  I retired from Comerica in 2005 as chief economist after 35 years of work in Detroit.

 

Recently I met with Taxpayers United Michigan Foundation and endorsed its effort to defend the Michigan Constitution from being systematically and routinely violated by state government.

 

I've agreed to do my part in defending the Michigan Constitution by supporting this suit against the state.  The lawsuit appears the most effective way of confronting out-of-control statewide spending and taxation that further erode Michigan's economic competitiveness and ability to generate jobs, now and prospectively.

 

Such a lawsuit will prove instrumental in educating Michigan citizens regarding their voting rights and recourse under the state constitution.
