DeRoche accused Gov. Jennifer Granholm’s administration of hiding or miscalculating state spending in order to make the case for a tax increase last fall. Granholm and the Legislature raised the income tax from 3.9% to 4.35%, and enacted a new sales tax on services that was quickly repealed and replaced with a larger business tax Fri Jan 11, 2008 9:16 am  FlintConservative F L I N T O I D Send mine attention "blue boy"...I'll be the one holding my breath.
