Michigan Governor's Non-Profit Uses Inflated Job Numbers While Seeking Public Money

In Michigan, there is a non-profit called SPARK and it was co-founded by Michigan’s Governor Snyder.  SPARK’s annual report claims that they helped 13,024 new jobs, $1.5 billion in investment and 547 new companies; but, an official report provided to the Governor of Michigan from the ex-CEO of SPARK lists only 711 jobs, $229 million in investment and 149 companies.  The non-profit SPARK continues to seek public tax-payer money, as it provides data on inflated job numbers.
