In her weekly column, publisher Mary Kramer calls for more investment in education in Michigan as well as strategic tax policies and targeted job development. She says business and civic leaders should demand more from elected officials and that there should be less partisan bickering about how to stimulate the Michigan economy. Kramer cites an innovative program in Kalamazoo , where a group of anonymous donors have guaranteed four-year college scholarships to any public high school graduate, with the percentage of aid based on the number of years the student has attended Kalamazoo public schools. She quotes Eli Broad, a major benefactor of Michigan State , who told the New York Times: "A number of us have come to believe that the biggest problem America has is the state of our schools."
