Comments 0 | Recommend 0Governor Jennifer Granholm plans to leave Monday for a trade trip to Germany and Belgium.
It will be the Democrat's eighth overseas trade trip.

The governor has made previous trade trips to Germany, Austria, Japan, Sweden and the Middle East.
She'll be accompanied by officials from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation and NextEnergy, a Detroit-based nonprofit that nurtures alternative and renewable energy uses.
