Tough times for northern Michigan conservative radio host "Trucker" Randy Bishop. He's filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy and is trying to raise money online for an attorney to defend him against what he describes as a defamation lawsuit.

Michigan promised nearly $2.5B in cash for jobs deals during Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's administration. How's it working? About 20% success; less from top 10 biggest deals. This is state's biggest job-creation strategy. See my months-long analysis here: bridgemi.com/business-watch…

One of the surprising aspects of reporting the story to me was the number of jobs Michigan was promised (65K) and how many were delivered (13K). The difference is increasing the number of private sector jobs by less than 1% or 2% at best.
