Beholden is a dangerous word these day in the political realm.<BR/> <BR/>Former Michigan Senator John Kelly was one on my best professors when he taught at Oakland University. Students passionate about good governance learned a whole lot about trianglation and working with the loyal opposition from him. It is a class that Michigan's Big Three political leaders: Granholm, Dillon and Bishop needed to take. He was big on reciprocity.<BR/> <BR/>Kelly also once told me about his interaction with Lee Iacocca and it always stuck in my mind. That's one of the foundations of my criticism of Granholm's neglect of neither keeping, nor attracting good jobs for Michigan. Her administration is quite a disappointment, and I'm speaking as a former volunteer for her 2002 gubernatorial campaign.<BR/><BR/>Ken HrehaKen Hrehahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16375911086276289896noreply@blogger.com
