How much did Granholm pay you to write this untrue letter about her and the state of Michigan? (Michigan ranked one of best-managed states, Issue 1153, March 8-14, 2008). Granholm is an anti-American who hates herself and everyone else! She's trying to close all the schools here, the jails and the mental hospitals. She is a liar who says she won't raise taxes, but imposes fees. She is friends with Kilpatrick, our two-faced crooked mayor.

The Hungarian-born Lantos died last month of cancer at age 80.
