Remember when Gov. Jennifer Granholm told Michigan we'd be "blown away" during her 2006 State of the State address? Granholm's former press secretary, Liz Boyd, does.

The MIRS team debates this, Whitmer's "oil in the water" comment on the radio Monday morning, a Whitmer 527 getting off the hook with a $30,000 fine and the Attorney General revisiting the sex offender registry issue.
