Constitution, schmonstitution. This is what I want it done, and I DON'T care how it happens!By KG One, Section News
This week during the yearly taxpayer-funded vacation to Mackinac Island, er, I mean the Detroit Regional Chamber's "comprehensive dialogue this week on innovation, collaboration and the 21st century global market" with "Michigan's top business professionals, government leaders, corporate CEOs, entrepreneurs and veteran regional champions," the topic that just won't go away; a second government bridge to Canada, made an interesting turn.
{Continued below the fold.}
The deal is nearly done.
And how Gov. Snyder wants to pull it off this time is a doozy! The first part is how to pay for it? The math is still a little fuzzy. But that has already been covered here. Add to that you can't get the Legislature to act on it. Not enough traction? So what if the US Constitution specifically prohibits it. Just claim the Michigan Constitution does, and all is well in the world. The other major hurdles are taken care of. The only sticking point now is what to use to build it with. According to The Detroit News:
Top officials of the Snyder administration, on the island for the Detroit Regional Chamber's annual policy conference, told me a deal is nearly complete to construct the long anticipated bridge without direct approval of the state Legislature, and they expect to complete the details within a few weeks.
Resolving the Chinese steel issue, they say, is the final piece." Michigan's economy is in the tank, and you want to kowtow to a Canadian "demand" to use Chi-Comm steel because it is cheaper? I can see the headline now:
Yeah, that'll really play well with the voters. You already have a readily drawn, "safe" US House District that is in jeopardy due to major bungling.
You're sure that you don't want to add to that mess by handing the Michigan House over to the democrats this November by giving them this issue to run with?
