Yes she does. According to Michigan.gov, "In her 2007 State of the State Address, Governor Jennifer Granholm announced the No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) free tuition program to help Michigan workers create a prosperous future."
The NWLB program includes up to two years free tuition at any Michigan community college, university or other approved training program. As far as I can tell this is a limited time opportunity. Sign ups began August 1, 2007 and last for three years (so that would mean sign ups end August 1, 2010).
The program is available to:

1. "Any person who is currently unemployed
2. Any person who has received a notice of termination or layoff from employment
3. Any employed person whose family income is $40,000 or less.
4. Participants must be at least 18 years old,must not have graduated from high school in the last two years, and must not be full-time college students (applies to 18-23 year olds only)."

Tuition is capped at a total of $10,000 per person ($5,000 per year).
