    Better Managers?

    Irony! The first time in 41 years a bill could be introduced to correct a critical problem with P.A. 312, and instead the bill extends the reach of the monster legislation.  SB Passed the house yesterday, and is on its way to the governor's desk.

    Representative Rick Jones (R-Grand Ledge) spoke in support of the bill and in his actual floor speech said:


    "If cities are losing these awards they need to hire better city managers."

    I have written on PA312 before.

    Might there be a solution?  Given that the law states unfunded mandates to municipalities are NOT supposed to happen, (A current lawsuit by Charlevoix commissioners is now ongoing) This may well set up the state for a bigger fall than it has been headed for already.  

    Better Managers? or perhaps better legislators..

    Rick Jones is running against Randy Brink in the 24TH DISTRICT STATE SENATE primary.

    I hope the folks in the 24th can say "see ya later Rick." FAIL.

    I thought that PA 312 dealt with mandatory arbitration, not unfunded mandates placed on local governments by the state.
