A Detroit News editorial says that it is a "long shot that the governor and lawmakers can set aside their wearisome squabbles and put this state on track," referring to Michigan's economic future and a recently released study by former U-M President James J. Duderstadt, titled \"A Roadmap to Michigan\'s Future: Meeting the Challenge of a Global Knowledge-Driven Economy.\" The independent study "speaks in blunt, often caustic language about the mindset of entitlement and resistance to reality that has Michigan gripping tight to the past instead of reaching out for the future," according to the editorial. The editorial further states that Michigan 's economic problems are not lacking ideas for solutions, but a "statewide will to make the sacrifices and do the hard work necessary to implement changes. Also missing is a high-level champion for reform."
