Maybe you’re the kind of political junkie who likes to warm up for the State of the Union speech by taking in a State of the State speech as an appetizer. If so, you probably caught Gov. Rick Snyder as he addressed the state legislature and are even now tempted to head to Michigan with your inner tube for a leisurely float down the “River of Opportunity.”
Yes, that’s Snyder’s “new vision of government.”

Tourists might think it sounds tempting, but what do the neighbors have to say?

I keep hearing the Gov talk about a "river of opportunity" but where are the boats for MI families?
