LIVONIA, Mich. – Republican presidential hopeful Rick Santorum made a last-minute appeal to voters outside of Detroit Monday morning, telling a suburban Chamber of Commerce that he is the only true conservative among the four remaining candidates and would “return power back to the American people” by ending bailouts, lowering taxes and removing burdensome government regulations.
Santorum talked for about an hour to the Livonia Chamber of Commerce, the first of three scheduled campaign stops he will make ahead of Tuesday’s Michigan and Arizona primaries, promising reforms that would return manufacturing jobs to the economically troubled state.
Part of Santorum’s plan includes zeroing out the corporate income tax for manufacturers and processors, the very kinds of businesses Michigan has lost in droves.
