On a much lesser but related note, CapCon shines a light today on another Republican Senate leader pushing forced union dues. Excerpts:
.....
 "Based on emails obtained by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy through the Freedom of Information Act, lawmakers, particularly Senate Appropriations Chair Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw, have been pressing behind the scenes to keep the MQC3 going. The agency's continued operation has kept the dues flowing to the SEIU.

Judy Hendrixson, a home health care worker in Roscommon, said she was amazed that the SEIU dues are still being taken out of her checks.

"This never should have happened in the first place," Hendrixson said, referring to the forced unionization. "And now that it (the MQC3) is supposed to be gone, there's no way they should still be taking dues out of our checks."

"Here's a Republican lawmaker doing this? How can he justify it?" Zahdeh asked, in reference to Sen. Kahn. "I thought lawmakers take an oath of office to uphold the constitution."
