Last week I attended the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Mackinac Policy Conference on Mackinac Island.  I also promised to blog about the various happenings.  Since others have long beaten me to the punch (and have done a far better job than I could), I’ll just provide this roundup of some of the better articles and blogs covering the event:

• Nathan Bomey covers technology, alternative energy, manufacturing and economic development for Michigan Business Review.  His coverage is “must read” for those interested in everything happening at the event.  In this article has a list of a few notable stories and blog posts from MBR.
• The Detroit Free Press and Crain’s Business Detroit both take a look at the two-hour session with T. Boone Pickens and Gov. Jennifer Granholm on renewable energy alternatives and the job prospects they create.
• The Detroit Free Press also covered the debate between some gubernatorial candidates for 2010, including Attorney General Mike Cox, Secretary of State Terri Lynn Land, state Sen. Tom George, Democratic state Rep. Alma Wheeler Smith and Republican U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra.
