We have a government.. ButBy JGillman, Section News
Today, Snyder, Schuette, Johnson, and a host of others took their positions up as wished upon them by the voters in this state.
Rick Snyder: "We need to stop being divisive and be inclusive. We have spent too much time fighting among ourselves, and have become our own worst enemy," Tell me you didn't write that yourself, and that you borrowed it from the Center for Michigan. Inclusive perhaps, if it is inclusive of the reality that leftist policies brought us here. This "moment of opportunity" you mentioned at another point, is indeed that. Sir, If you go down the road of everybody gets their pet project saved, we won't be using that opportunity very well. This is an opportunity to perhaps share a little of the reality the taxpayers who are NOT employed in state government, must endure. De-certifying the unions would be a good start in helping the State employees KEEP their jobs. I was the worst critic of the nerd before he won in the primary. I must admit however, I have been pretty silent on Snyder's expected performance because I think we can make a lot of noise that doesn't much matter at this point. When he screws up, we will be right there. The event today had Snyder talking about his family's prior service in the capitol. His maternal grandfather apparently was a custodian there. kind of a neat story actually, demonstrating the level in which a family can grow in Michigan, and in this nation once revered as the basket of opportunity of the world. Opportunity in Michigan and nationwide destroyed by the type of leftist Marxism exhibited by Snyder's predecessor and the wrecking crew known as our current federal administration. We can at least start the healing now. ~ more below ~
Our new Secretary of State Ruth Johnson, actually drew a pretty good cheer from the sunny day crowd in Lansing.
Ruth is one of those people it would be hard not to like. Popular to be sure with a great number of the Tea Party folks, she is also the most likely (in my opinion) to actively seek the best protections for our vote integrity. She gets it.
She has also pledged to keep the SOS trim and efficient. From the Detroit News:
Quite popular, she was able to liven up the crowd a bit. According to that same article she greeted over 500 people personally at her reception by early afternoon. Scheutte, also beaming on the sunny Saturday afternoon inaugural sounding very umm governorish.. Well let me say this.. the man will carry forward our position that the health care bill is unconstitutional. In fact I would expect little departure from the way Cox had run things. And he pours a mean cup of coffee. (seriously.. go to a Schuette event. If your coffee cup is empty, he'll leave the podium to get you all set.) Our newest Supreme court selection is quite satisfactory, with the addition of another (the good twin) Justice Kelly, and the reelection of Justice Bob Young. A concern I have however, is the possibility of Snyder selecting State Supreme Court Justice Maura Corrigan to lead the Dept. of Human Services. I have no doubt she would do a good job, but the question remains who might be her replacement assigned by the new governor. As we have seen already, crossing the aisle for Snyder is not out of the question. In fact I'll end this here with a question. If Snyder has opened up his term with an 'inclusive argument' that brings on board the very people who's ideas have brought Michigan to the miserable state it is in, then would it be so surprising for us to once again have a court that feels it must rush through all the crap decisions like it has in the last week of this year? Staying tuned.
