"It's a huge tax credit for working families," said Rep. Andrea LaFontaine, a Republican from Columbus Township in St. Clair County who is sponsoring the bill. "It had large bipartisan support. I do think it was long overdue."

Currently in Michigan, people who buy a new or used car pay sales tax on the full price without a credit if they trade in a vehicle. LaFontaine said what she is proposing is done in 44 other states.

The Senate approved a similar bill in May on a 37-1 vote, and now it is up to GOP legislative leaders to decide whether to make it a priority - likely in the "lame duck" session after the November election.

Snyder spokeswoman Sara Wurfel said he does not support the House bill "in its current form at this time" because it "creates a problematic hole in the budget without any plan to address it."

Translating Wurfel: You people are cRaZy.  You all should know by now that Rick doesn't play like that.  Besides, letting the little folks keep more of their money cuts too deeply into the private property tax break he wants for his special interest corporate cronies.

Yeah, I know.  The bootlickers in Lansing are saying that "Gillman has turned RightMichigan.com into a hate Republican site, and right now we need all the help we can get! What is the matter with those guys, going on like that in the middle of the most important election of our time?!"

Ok.

I would agree that this is indeed the most election of our time.  Of our lives even, and quite possibly the most defining point we have had in the last century. This is ACTUALLY a LOVE the Republicans site. But its a little more like 'hard love', in the hope that the right decisions are made by those political adolescents that currently are in power .

Anyhow, Rick Snyder is not running for anything right now.

Yet he still needs to be held accountable for his actions. And even inaction. Given that Michigan started out the process of this election cycle as a slightly leaning Democrat (Obama) state, and now is considered (once again) a lost cause by the ongoing Republican presidential campaign, we should be a little concerned for the down tickets.  THIS will not help:

"For the first time, the Governor, on the record, has confirmed he will not call out the president by name.

MIRS asked, "You will say nothing negative about Barack Obama?"

"No. I don't say negative things about people whenever I can help it," Snyder said.

Hedging bets? Trying to get him to capitulate on the bridge-trade pact? Is there a new Ardesta sales agreement with the feds for embryo oil?  Whats going on?

Snyder, and those who support him are a disgrace to the Michigan Republican party.
