Story of Ann Arbor businessman shared through the White House

We published a guest column from Mark Hodesh, a businessman who owns Downtown Home and Garden in Ann Arbor, Friday about some of the tax credits in the new health care law. He talked about how the act is going to help his small business by receiving a $15,000 tax credit.

Fast forward to today: A tweet from the official White House Twitter account gets sent out, and looks like this:

Being the curious person I am, I think, "I wonder where in Michigan he is. Could be cool if he was in our area." Sure enough, the tweet provides a link to the same column posted Friday. It's a very cool feeling to see.

A curious coincidence: the Supreme Court also set oral argument dates for the health care law right around the same time. Arguments will take place March 26, 27 and 28.
