Michigan voters should not expect their next Governor to be the catalyst for a major economic revival. That's according to an analyst with a southeast-Michigan political think tank. John Bebow is the Executive Director of Ann Arbor's 'Center for Michigan.' He says the electorate needs to remember a Governor's role in economic development.
"No governor is going to come in with a cape on and solve this thing for us," he says. "It's more about trying to create the kind of climate that can move Michigan forward and help companies do so efficiently here and help create the kind of environment where people are gonna wanna be."
That, Bebow says, means the candidates should discuss tax and regulatory burdens on incoming businesses, and how to create more attractive communities with better transportation and schools.
