Is the Pure Michigan brand being misused? MEDC ad outrages right-to-work opponents

Is the Pure Michigan brand being misused? MEDC ad outrages right-to-work opponents | MLive.com
Right-to-work opponents are criticizing an advertisement in the Wall Street Journal that uses the Pure Michigan logo while touting the new right-to-work law as a reason to do business in the state.
The full-page print ad, titled, ‘What happens when Michigan makes history,’ contains the following text:
“It’s a new day for business in Michigan. Michigan is the newest Right-to-Work state.
This once-in a generation transformation has Michigan poised to become a preferred place to do business.
Michigan has also redesigned incentive programs, streamlined regulatory processes, approved legislation to eliminate personal property taxes and launched a new flat 6% business tax, giving the state its most competitive position in decades.
The perfect storm of opportunity, resources and passion is Pure Michigan.”
