Ryan Hill, an extras casting director on "Ides," describes how he considered leaving Michigan several years ago when his work in production on commercials began to dry up.

"Then, wham, the incentives happened and I was able to stay. I was able to keep my house. I was able to pay my bills and keep working for the last three years," he says.

Now Hill is contemplating moving again. "If the incentive goes away and all this work goes away, there's no reason for me to stay in Michigan at this point."

GOP Bill Would Force IRS to Conduct Abortion Audits | Mother Jones

"Under a GOP-backed bill expected to sail through the House of Representatives, the Internal Revenue Service would be forced to police how Americans have paid for their abortions. To ensure that taxpayers complied with the law, IRS agents would have to investigate whether certain terminated pregnancies were the result of rape or incest. And one tax expert says that the measure could even lead to questions on tax forms: Have you had an abortion? Did you keep your receipt?"

"“Over the past several years, it has become clear that the Fox News channel is wildly biased,” he said. “They continue to employ a talk show host who called President Obama a racist. They continue to employ several prospective Republican Presidential candidates as ‘analysts,’ giving them hours and hours of free air time. And their parent company has donated millions to GOP-linked groups.”"

Poll: Wisconsin governor rising in Republican eyes - WDAF

"CHICAGO (Reuters) - Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who signed sweeping curbs on public unions into law on March 11, may be emerging as a potential 2012 Republican presidential contender, according to a poll issued on Thursday.

The phone survey by Public Policy Polling of 642 registered voters on March 10-13 found that Walker's favorability among Republican voters was 55 percent positive and 11 percent negative, a spread of 44 points.

That pushed Walker ahead of other possible Republican contenders like former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich."
