Long before the current run-up in gas prices, we declared Michigan's intention to lead the nation in alternative energy production. We know alternative energy is good not only for our environment - it can also reduce the nation's dependence on foreign oil. But most importantly for us, alternative energy will result in jobs for Michigan workers and is at the heart of our strategic plan to diversify and grow our state's economy. That's why this week's announcement by the Massachusetts-based Mascoma Corporation that it will build one of the nation's first commercial-scale cellulosic ethanol plants in the Upper Peninsula near Sault Ste. Marie was greeted with such excitement.

Jobless Rate

You may have heard earlier this week that Michigan's unemployment rate took a big jump in the month of May. As new job seekers - many of them young people - entered the work force, they weren't able to find the jobs they were looking for, pushing our unemployment rate to over 8 percent. While any increase in the unemployment rate is unacceptable, Michigan can't escape the effects of $4-a-gallon gas, contraction in the automotive sector, and the sub-prime lending crisis that's battering the national economy. The national jobless rate also soared in May, increasing by more in a single month than any time in more than 20 years.

Father's Day Special

Hi, I'm Dan Mulhern, First Gentleman of the State of Michigan, speaking to you on behalf of my wife, Governor Jennifer Granholm. We're taking time out to recognize an important calendar milestone this Sunday. Throughout the nation - we celebrate Father's Day. I often chuckle when I hear that great fatherhood quote by Mark Twain, who once said, "When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he'd learned in seven years."

Education Symposium

Next week I will join with governors from around the country at a symposium in North Carolina organized by that state's former Governor, James Hunt, who remains a leader among the nation's governors for pioneering the direct link between education and economic growth. Over the last five years we've taken that connection to heart and set an important goal: To bring new investment and new jobs to Michigan, we are going to double the number of college graduates in Michigan in just ten years.
