Creating Opportunity in a Changing World
Diversifying our Economy, Educating our People

January 29, 2008

In her sixth State of the State address, Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today said that despite persistent economic challenges, Michigan's citizens and leaders will be relentless in their efforts to transform this state into one of the best places in the country to live, learn, and earn.

"Our challenge is to give our people the tools they need to realize those hopes and come out on top in this new era," Granholm told a joint session of the Legislature. "In these tough times, government cannot be all things to all people. We have to focus on four things - a job for every worker, affordable health care for every family, safe places to live and work for all of us, and quality education for our citizens, kids and adults."
