I heard the President of the Metropolitan Group present last week at a National Endowment for the Arts leadership institute.

I was impressed with their values and their smarts.

I really believe that if we're going to turn Michigan around, we need to connect with the creative motivating spark in each person.

Not just the 'in' group of artists we feel comfortable with but the millions of people who scrapbook, and go fly fishing, the ones who garden, cook, and customize their cars. The young ones blogging and playing video games, the middle aged ones concerned about losing their jobs or homes and raising their kids. The ones of all ages worried about health care.

So, what are the issues important to people in Michigan?

Ask a neighbor, a family member or co-worker, people on the bus or clubs and let's begin to explore this here.
