Do you see eye to eye with Ms Gibbons’ assessment? I think for the most part Gov. Whitmer is doing an excellent job.

As WJBK news director Bob McBride used to say before signing off, “What do you think?”

qooqie,

I think the ones marked incomplete fall into the category of either very general or extremely tough to accomplish. I’m still happy with the progress made and our state government currently.

skydivekingair,

I wish we could get this for every State.

Hell I wish we could get this for every candidate on a pamphlet before elections.
