The country would be a better place if there were more like her who could transcend party lines and just do what was right because it's the right thing to do.Ramona Grigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160614050077886238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-7028817763145852932011-07-10T08:02:43.485-04:002011-07-10T08:02:43.485-04:00Nice tribute and well served.

Bill Milliken and his wife, Helen, were about as progressive back when Milliken was governor (1969-1983) as any of our so-called progressive Democrats today.<br /><br />Bill Milliken endorsed our Right Wing gov.

I'm afraid his endorsement brought Snyder the votes to win.Ramona Grigghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160614050077886238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2772956368752433326.post-16155793315431275972011-07-09T14:36:19.206-04:002011-07-09T14:36:19.206-04:00Thanks for this, Ramona.
