FOR GOVERNOR
Here are the straightforward specif c e s s 'lit
Michigan in a new direction, startin
1) Take charge of the MEDC and Michigan's economic eve opnient my-se
2) Call an immediate special session of the legislature in order to find a replacement for-the
Single Business Tax
3) Send a supplemental budget to the legislature that increases funding for higher education and
creates a merit pay program for teachers.
4) Sign an executive order creating one-stop shopping for small business, slashing permitting
time to 30 days, cutting red tape, solving problems and speeding job creation.
5) Convene a meeting of my cabinet and give them this simple instruction: If an action creates
good jobs do it If it hurts job creation, don't.
6) Launch a "Made in Michigan" initiative, starting with a
trade office in Japan to serve as a gateway for Michigan
companies wanting to do business in the Asian
marketplace. The Japan trade office will be the first of ten
trade offices we'll open in the first year
7) Invest in consistently promoting Michigan as a tourism
destination.
8) Direct the Lt. Governor, Ruth Johnson, to immediately
begin a top-down review of every department and
program in state government. Her mission - eliminate
programs that are no longer necessary and shape up
programs that aren't giving taxpayers their money's worth.
9) Personally visit the Department of Human Services and
meet with employees who are struggling to meet the needs
of children who are victims of abuse.
10) Meet with Detroit Mayor KwArne Kilpatrick and tell
him that Detroit's success is critical to Michigan's success.
That's what I'll do and it'll make more change
within 48 days of a DeVos Administration than
Governor Granhohn has in 48 months.
