    This was the "Citizens for Michigan" proposal for wanting a constitutional convention which wants to, among other things, eliminate the safeguards against property tax increases. I had a back and forth with Dennis Lennox over the merits of a con/con, and used Citizens for Michigan as a reason why I do not support it. Fiscal and social issues alike. It was founded by Phil Power and lead by people like Joe Schwarz and Frank Kelley.

    The "Center for Michigan" is a left-leaning think tank which is a counterpart to the Mackinac Center. It was also started by Phil Power. Rick Snyder is tied to this group as is Joe Schwarz, Jack Lessenberry, and that crowd.

    As for who Phil Power is, he's a former UM trustee (D) and was the publisher for Hometown Newspapers. They ran the Livingston County Press/Brighton Argus and the Observer and Eccentric papers until they were bought by Gannett a few years back. Phil Power was the top editor and wrote a regular column for the paper. I will say this much....I always did read what he wrote. I almost always disagreed with what he wrote, too.
