Priorities for Michigan's Economic Future: Jobs, Education, and Protecting Families
State of the State Address
February 3, 2009

In her seventh State of the State address, Governor Jennifer M. Granholm today said that Michigan will weather this current economic storm because the state is focused relentlessly on the things that matter most in a time of economic crisis: creating jobs, training and educating citizens for those jobs, and protecting families.

"Michigan will weather this economic storm because our people are resourceful and resilient and because our battle plan is focused on the three things that matter most," Granholm told a joint session of the Legislature. "Fighting for more good-paying jobs in Michigan; educating and training our people to fill those jobs; and protecting our families during the worst economic conditions in more than a quarter of a century."
