Political Posturing at its Most Pathetic

I can certainly understand why Michigan lawmakers think the Ford Foundation's funding priorities are no longer consistent with its founders' intentions. (Heck, I can understand why earthlings, period, might find the Ford Foundation's funding priorities a little out-of-whack). But this idea, of changing the laws to make it mandatory for any foundation founded or headquartered in that state to give at least 50% of their grants to Michigan organizations, is about the silliest thing I've ever heard. It's also preposterously short-sighted in that if they won, impossible as that seems, it would ensure that no foundation or large corporation would ever headquarter in the state of Michigan again.
