And, lo, in the closing days of Year One for a Michigan painted red, the call went out to all those not yet gone and making merry: Who are the best (and worst) in Big Mitten business and politics — and beyond? ~
Not Forgotten, Not Gone: To the men and women of the Delphi Salaried Retirees Association and all of the 20,000 Delphi Corp. salaried retirees they represent. Hosed out of roughly two-thirds of their expected pensions, these people won't go away because they possess legitimate grievances their government refuses to address, much less redress. ~ Namely, why can the Treasury use public money to "top-up" union pensions at Delphi and former parent General Motors Co. and administer minor haircuts to GM salaried retirees but can dump their Delphi counterparts on the ministrations of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp.? They'll keep asking until they get an answer, and they should. ~
