This is not a very common occurrence, in fact, this might be the first time MPA has EVER made an endorsement on a statewide ballot proposal.
I guess its THAT serious.
It has to do with transparency. Its hard to hold folks accountable without it. The Michigan Press Association and Mackinac Center issued a Joint Statement today. According to the press release:
If passed with a "yes" vote, these organizations argue, stipulations in government collective bargaining agreements would trump the Freedom of Information Act, among other laws. The Freedom of Information Act guarantees that public documents remain available to public scrutiny, subject to some limitations.
Pah.. we trust the union folks who will be in charge to fill us in appropriately.
They are always so upfront with the truth.
Stay tuned.
