I could have predicted this.
The very thing some of you have spoken to, is being used by the lefties in Lansing (the protesters) as an accompanying argument for the EFM legislation.
The last gasp of government labor organizations is being seen occupying the state capitol chanting the programmed union slogans, and carrying the pre-printed paraphernalia supporting a free lunch, or compulsory unionization causes. Loud and impolite as always, they recognize that their small issue though enough to rally them forward, is not sufficient for the needed sympathy from Michigan voters.
So they are going to play the "Snyder is taxing old people" angles.
And it may serve them well.
