Newly Published Book Details the Attempted Recall of Michigan Governor Granholm

"In the Name of the Budget," a new book by Paul Piche, has been released by RoseDog Books.

The author, Paul M. Piche, has written this book about his attempt to recall Michigan's 47th Governor, Jennifer Granholm.

On June 5, 2009, Granholm announced she was closing eleven additional correctional prisons and minimum-security camps in addition to previous facility closures. The closures were the Governor's attempt to balance Michigan's budget.

After the Governor's announcement the author began to investigate what the Governor planned on doing with the prisoners housed in the closing facilities. Granholm and the Michigan Department of Corrections were going to parole over 7,000 prisoners.

This book covers the lies, manipulation and corruption of MDOC. This book covers the entire recall attempt and the hardship of starting a recall from scrap. This book covers the consequences of balancing a budget through closing prisons. The author holds Granholm responsible for her lack of public safety in the early release of extremely dangerous convicted felons in the name of a budget.
