At the end of another trying year for our proud state, it's fitting to conclude with a note of hope, and spotlight an online destination whose "main goal is to inspire Michiganders to take ownership and get involved with our future." Given the passion with which Let's Save Michigan speaks about our two peninsulas, I've selected it as the "Arresting Site of the Month" for December.
Once inside its pages, you'll see what the authors are for, like smarter transportation policy, and against, including misguided tax breaks and tax credits, The site has teamed with the Detroit Institute of Arts for a poster contest designed to elicit from our deep pool of creative talent inspirational works that will be a "call to action" for Michigan. Submission deadline is February 15, 2010.
