Michigan Farm Bureau Endorses DeVos

The Michigan Farm Bureau endorsed the Republican gubernatorial candidate Dick DeVos as they believe he will help the farmers. They said that his support of small businesses was one of the main reasons they chose to support him. DeVos has pledged to cut property taxes on farmland and to support an immigration policy that would help out agriculture as well.

DeVos also supports Proposal 1, a new constitutional amendment that would require most gambling operations to get voter approval. The proposal was opposed by the horse racing industry who wanted to add slot machines at their tracks. The current governor, Jennifer Granholm opposed the measure, saying that by bringing in slot machines the racetracks were taking money away from the lottery, and the lottery brings in large amounts of revenue for the public school system. She said the lottery would not be able to add slot machines without voter approval.

Granholm’s camp thinks the Michigan Farm Bureau endorsed DeVos due to the slot machine issues, not because of any stance she has on agriculture. The DeVos campaign shot back that they know that the reason they got the endorsement didn’t have anything to do with the slot machines. They say they got it because it is clear that DeVos will support the farmers – and that he is “the best candidate to improve agriculture in Michigan.”
