Update,
Holy cow, she wants to shut down both state fairs.
How could the people of Michigan get themselves into this predicament? Time for Michiganders to get rid of Granholm and the left. What will she cut next?
I guess Wisconsin is not much better letting Doyle and the Dems get elected. We will soon find out our fate soon enough!
If Michigan is 1.6 Billion in the hole and Wisconsin is 5.4 billion in the hole, Jim Doyle should shut down the Wisconsin State Fair immediately!
Will Jim Doyle shut down State Fair for the sake of his overspending in Wisconsin?

ESCANABA - The news that the Upper Peninsula State Fair will be cut from Michigan's 2010 budget will likely be officially announced tonight in Gov. Jennifer Granholm's State of the State address at 7 p.m.
The Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) Fairs, Exhibitions and Racing Division Director Barbara Hensinger said there have not been any decisions made about a possible sale of the U.P. State Fair property." All’s Fair in a sour economy? - DailyPress.net | News, Sports, Jobs, Escanaba Information | The Daily Press
Update,
"Her short-term reform plan would end all state financing of the Michigan State Fair in Detroit, the nation’s oldest, as well as the Upper Peninsula State Fair in 2010. The State Fair — a showcase for Michigan’s $64 billion agricultural industry — is an agency of the Department of Management and Budget, and is held on state property. It’s supposed to pay for itself, but the state treasury has been covering shortfalls ranging from $50,000 to $1.3 million in recent years. Attendance has dropped 39 percent since 2000 and corporate support also has declined." CarnivalMidways.Com » Michigan State Fair in Jeopardy
