I can't speak to Michigan, but if I were looking to move to someplace to retire from where I now live, I'd consider north-central Pennsylvania, somewhere just north of I-80 near a town called Danville. Great medical care (Geisinger Health System), good fishing (Susquehanna River and numerous feeder streams), grouse hunting in the nearby state forests and a couple of universities within a short distance for intellectual stimulation. Plus, rural Pennsylvania is still pretty conservative and it's likely to stay that way for a while.
What difference does it make how conservative the rural part is, when the cities elect an actual brain damaged senator to office?
The platform he ran on looked like state sponsored economic suicide.
I can think of a number of third world countries that have better long term fiscal planning and goals.
Best,
Ted
