Governor Candidate Forum

Governor hopefuls offer preview of '10 race

Mackinac Island -- In the first preview of next year's race for governor, some of the candidates argued at a debate Thursday night about raising taxes, the need for a part-time Legislature, whether prisoners should be released to curb the state budget and what Michigan needs to start generating jobs again.

...

Of all the candidates only one, Cox, would sign a no-tax pledge.

Land said she could not say she would not raise taxes as governor, but acknowledged changes are needed in the way the state raises revenue. "We have to do something," she said. "We need to create jobs."
