Nolan Finley, Detroit News editorial page editor, opines that bold moves are needed to encourage high school graduates to pursue a college education. Finley writes that he is intrigued by an idea offered by Paul Dimond, of Miller, Canfield, during a recent conference. Dimond advocates killing the Single Business Tax and replacing it with a sales tax on services and investing all the new money in higher education. Finley adds that such a concept would require a different mind-set from Michigan residents and policymakers. "And it would demand that the state focus nearly all of its resources on education, while letting a lot of other important things go."
