That's right. Here in VA, it has gotten slightly worse, close to 8% now. It had hovered around 7% for a while. I suspect that if the congress is serious about government service and defense cuts that we'll be hit pretty hard. For a state full of wingnuts who hate the federal government, they sure don't seem to mind all of the money the federal government spends here. Without it, we wouldn't be left with much.

BTW, I thought there were areas of MI that stay around 20%, even on a good year?
