State Representative Vicki Barnett (Farmington Hills) discusses her resolution to end Michigan's status as a donor state at a press conference on Tuesday, Nov. 10, 2009, at the Capitol. Barnett was joined by a bipartisan group of legislators, including, left to right, State Representatives Mike "Huck" Huckleberry (Greenville), Mary Valentine (Muskegon) and Marie Donigan (Royal Oak), who are calling for an end to the unfair practice of Michigan sending more taxpayer dollars to Washington, D.C., than it receives back from the federal government.
