Doubting that she'll call out her BFFs in the UAW, either.  Oh, sure, she could call them out on any number of things, their treatment of the Big 3 and the jobs bank program not least on the list, but today's Ivory Tower gives Macomb County residents one more reason to be wary of Big Labor.

Macomb County commissioners said Monday they have no choice but to begin laying off hundreds of employees and cut services to senior citizens, lower-income families and other residents after a key union rejected a proposed labor contract.

The United Auto Workers, which represents 500 county employees, voted down a 3-year contract on Friday that called for wage freezes, six days off without pay, more out-of-pocket health care  costs and stiffer requirements to gain full pension benefits.

That's right... according to the prevailing lefty logic of the last several election cycles, the UAW, by obstructing budgetary progress and refusing to tighten their belt, is causing senior citizens and low income families... which include CHILDREN... to have their social safety net cut out from underneath them.  Service will suffer, moms and kids will go hungry and grandma won't be able to get any assistance keeping the heat on these next two months.  

After all, that's what we always hear from Democrats when any Republican talks about making budget cuts.  

But as unlikely as it is that the Governor will call out her Democratic friends on the Macomb County Board of Commissioners and Big Labor, its even less likely that she'll talk about the other big story today, the release from prison of one of the biggest Democrats (literally) in Michigan political history.  

The Associated Press was there this morning when former Democratic Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick finally regained his freedom.  If the Governor won't show the man any love, at least we know there are others who will.

As he stepped onto the sidewalk, Kilpatrick stood for a long moment amid bright television camera lights, a crush of awaiting reporters and swirling snowflakes, smiling occasionally to those in the crowd who called his name and shouted: "We love you, Kwame. Detroit loves you, baby!"

Flanked by a number of men, several dressed in fedoras and long coats, Kilpatrick then was rushed to a waiting blue Chevrolet Suburban. The Democrat waved from behind tinted windows as he was whisked away as part of a multi-vehicle caravan.

Still traveling in style.  And yeah, Kwame's bad behavior and the scandal and shame he and the rest of the Detroit Democrats have brought on the Motor City and Michigan has done damage it'll take years to overcome... yeah it's a huge problem for the state and one we have to address... just don't expect to hear anything about that tonight.
