Granholm says the voters know little about DeVos

She assails ties to center; his camp is disappointed

In one of her sharpest attacks of the campaign, Gov. Jennifer Granholm said Wednesday that voters will reject her Republican opponent Dick DeVos when they find out more about his ties to conservative economic and social causes.

"I'm running against someone who has led and financed organizations that have called for drilling under Great Lakes, selling off state parks, eliminating vulnerable populations from Medicaid," Granholm told the Free Press editorial board, referring to DeVos' association with the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a conservative-leaning think tank in Midland.

DeVos is a former board member of the Mackinac Center and has donated $100,000 since 1999 to support the organization.
