    No Credibility (none / 0) (#19)
    by stevenstmason on Thu May 07, 2009 at 10:27:13 PM EST
    This is why Republicans in Lansing have no credibility. Nick leads off with this statement:

    "Check out Jack McHugh's blog in Thursday in the Sphere, today.  There are billions in potential savings out there.  They are achievable.  They will hurt.  They are necessary."

    If you go to Jack's blog, you see the cuts include this:

    "Shift state police road patrols to less expensive county sheriff deputies. With benefits and related expenses it costs more than $100,000 per year to employ a state trooper; most sheriff deputies cost much less to employ. Effect on public safety: Zero. Savings: $65 million."

    But when it is proposed to cut funding for state troopers, every Republican in Lansing cries foul. It can't be both ways. If Lansing Republicans can't stand behind the cuts they claim to support, they'll have zero credibility with the public.
