Editor, The Detroit News:

 

A state panel thinks Michigan should raise taxes. In case they haven't noticed, the state's economy is struggling. Many people have lost jobs due to layoffs or buyouts. The state's population is declining and foreclosures are at a record high. So the panel wants to solve this problem by taking even more money from the people? I have a suggestion: if you want more money, get a metal detector and go to the beach.
