Yeah, I'm not saying yay or nay to that. Maybe because MI tourism season is so limited as opposed to Florida's, they had a stronger argument.
I have no real opinion on this. For us Michiganders, it was nice to extend an August vacation. But once the kids were in varsity sports, they had to be in town for mid-August practice starts anyway.
