The good senator from Kentucky seems to think that Michigan’s elected leaders don’t know what enterprise zones are about? Or that Michigan hasn’t tried any number of economic development credits and incentives over the years, to little effect in stemming the tide of population shifts out of Detroit to warmer climates?

He’s offering up the same rewarmed and rehashed programs that people on both sides of the aisle have proposed.

Michigan has had enterprise zone credits (no longer under the corporate income tax, but the Michigan Business tax had one before 2012).

But it rather humorous to watch Paul pitch himself for outreach to the African American community and there was nary one to be found in the crowd. How does that work, exactly.
