It sets out a compelling case for change: "Michigan has been getting relatively poorer, smaller and less competitive. The result is a state with chronic budget shortfalls and the highest unemployment rate in the nation. Incremental changes to the state's budget, tax and economic policies will be insufficient to grow the state's economy. Only a holistic, transformative strategy will do the job. This agenda for reform is backed by people, companies and universities with clout That's important, because if we've learned anything from the endless and inconsequential haggling that has been going on in Lansing this year, the only way we're ever going to get serious reform is by bringing heavy clout to bear. CEO [Doug Rothwell] and Board Chair Brandon both deserve a big pat on the back from al...

Much of the credit for the successful transition goes to local government and economic development officials who worked with Chrysler to secure funds for things like a fund to help former employees pay their personal bills during the transition.
I think change is a good thing, but unfortunately with all of these major real estate changes, a lot of long-time residents are being priced right out of the city," says Michael Garner, senior director of business development for the New York City School Construction Authority (SCA). Garner stands at the forefront of awarding multimillion-dollar construction contracts from New York City to vendors for major projects across New York, including Harlem. A native New Yorker who was born in Harlem but grew up in Chicago and returned to Harlem in 1983, Garner has seen plenty of changes in the city. He believes that gentrification is a mixed bag. The quality of life improves with added services. Renovated buildings, job creation new stores and restaurants enhance life for residents," Garner s...

The transition of leadership in state government has reminded me of Benjamin Franklin's rule of public service: "Never ask, never refuse, and never resign. While several individuals made their case known to hungry reporters, Greg Bell quietly went about his business avoiding political posturing. He is a perfect example of a statesman. He is not consumed with personal gain or the next prominent position. He didn't ask and he didn't refuse when asked by Gov. Gary Herbert to fill the opening for a lieutenant governor. Neither did Ambassador Jon Huntsman Jr. Nor did Huntsman resign contrary to Franklin's public-service rule. He was asked by a higher executive to offer public service in a different field of labor. Prepared men and women adapt quickly. Such will be the case of those now aske...

Foreign Minister Franco Frattini briefed Parliament on the U.N.'s proposals, which were outlined by U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a letter to Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi Aug. 30.
