John McCain held what's being called a "jobs" town hall meeting with an emphasis on small business in Michigan on July 10.

The Republican Presidential candidate's campaign invited undecided voters, auto industry employees and others to the session in a Detroit suburb.

McCain says he's very concerned about the unemployment numbers in that state, and nationwide.

He also criticized Senator Barack Obama for wanting to raise taxes.

"The last thing we need in an economic downturn, my friends, is raising is increasing your taxes," stated McCain.

"Senator Obama wants to raise capital gains tax. He wants to raise small business taxes. He wants to raise the state taxes. He wants to raise a broad variety of taxes."

Later today, McCain is set to visit his regional headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota.
