Shame on the Rick Snyder crew for attempting one of the oldest political tricks in the books i.e. telling a half ...

Eaton, and Ingham counties. Virtually a wilderness when the site was designated for the building of the state capital, Lansing was slow to develop until the arrival of the railroad. The nation's first land grant college was founded in Lansing, and the city became a world leader in the automotive industry through the pioneering work of the Olds Motor Vehicle Company. Today Lansing's status as the state capital, its industrial base including General Motors, a stable economy, and the presence of Michigan State University in East Lansing contribute to the city's overall strength.
