The Governor of Michigan is garbage. She is now giving tax dollars to Nigerians who send her sad emails.
Mich. Gov. holds press conference to announce giving $9.1 million in tax breaks to scam artist
Convicted embezzler and scam artist Richard Short was back in a Flint jail Wednesday -- a day after taking a stage with an unwitting Gov. Jennifer Granholm to celebrate a $9.1-million state tax break for his new company.
State officials who oversee the breaks -- but don't do background checks -- were mortified. Republicans called for investigations into how a felon duped a state agency.
Short, 57, couldn't actually take the credits until he made good on his business plan: spending $18.5 million and hiring 765 people to convert a former Flint chassis plant and build and ship renewable energy and sanitation equipment to African villages.
I bet residents of Michigan don't know whether to laugh or cry at their hapless governor right now:
he'd served nearly six years in jail and prison for embezzling money from a Muskegon-area battery-maker, or that he'd been convicted for bank loan fraud. |
