Manufacturers could be more open with blogs about what it would take to create and keep jobs

Gov. Jennifer Granholm signed a package of bills giving state manufacturers what appears to be a token tax break. 

• Is it enough to make a difference? 
  

• Is it just something that the Michigan Legislature threw together to show voters that they were doing something?

From reading the news accounts, its hard to tell what elements would be needed to create and keep jobs in Michigan.  There's virtually no discussion of real life scenarios of how businesses are struggling to cope here.

There seems to be plenty of news releases and word-smithed statements, but very little first person discussion about the honest dynamics of business today.  A blog would be the right tool to allow openess and transparency and maybe understanding and then appropriate action.
