"The State is not the government.  The State is The People."

Bills introduced Wednesday in the state Senate include a proposed constitutional amendment to raise the 6 percent sales tax to 8 percent and devote the extra revenue to transportation funding.

The state's 19-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax would go away in return.

If voters didn't like that approach, a mix of increased gas tax and vehicle registration fees would go into effect if there's support in the Republican-controlled Legislature.

The bills call for registration fees to rise by about 80 percent. Gas and diesel taxes would be roughly doubled.

A scant few days after the Obama amnesty loving Nerd finished his SOTS, there you have it.  Senate republicrats rushed to hammer out SJR J (Richardville - Kahn/Caswell) tie bar to SB 85 (Kahn - Pappageorge), and SB 88 (Kahn), or SB 86 (Kahn), and SB 87 (Kahn).  Look, Team R Governerd lackeys, you serve feces on a croissant, but it's still a sh*t sandwich.  Look elsewhere for revenue?  Oh, Hell no.  Tax 'em because it's a crisis.  If I were one of the Socialists on Team D, I would make you Lansing republicans pay through the nose for that tax hiking yes vote you need to pass either of that crap being served.  And, they will.

Education, responsibility, and duty.  It is a common sense partnership for a Lawful, and civil society.  Wisconsin's Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke Jr., is an honorable American.  I would be proud of any of our 83 sheriffs in Michigan, who'd step up with stating the same message.

Michigan voters could face a May 7 vote on how they want to pay for billions of dollars in road and bridge repairs in the next few years.

A key lawmaker has put forward a plan under which voters would be asked to choose between a legislative plan to hike fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees, or a second option that would involve a 2-percentage-point increase in the state's 6% sales tax.

The statewide vote would be premised on the gas tax increase and vehicle registration hike already getting approved in the Legislature. So choosing neither would not be an option.

Yessirree, SSDD in Lansing.

Stand tall, legislators!  The One Term Nerd works to undermine your most every important move.  There are options available to help solve road funding.

January 17, 2013 --
At 10:05 p.m. last evening, Isabella County Central Dispatch received a 911 call from a female that stated she had been kidnapped and had jumped out of a car. When deputies arrived, it was determined that she had been abducted at gunpoint from the CMU campus. The male suspect, who was later identified as a 30 year old Mount Pleasant resident, then drove her to a home on S. Crawford Rd., where he bound her and sexually assaulted her.

He then put her back in the car, retrieved 2 gas cans, got in the car and began driving. While they were driving, the suspect told the victim that he was going to take her life. After hearing that, the victim jumped out of the car and ran to a residence on S. Mission Rd. yelling for help. A resident at the home let her in and immediately locked the door. While she was on the phone with 911, the male suspect ended up pouring gasoline on the house and then lit it on fire. There were 4 individuals in the home at the time.

Rest

As the rest of the CMU presser states, and in detailing coverage, we will not be subject to that violent criminal's recidivism.  Thank Heaven for small favors!  The tragedy remains for all others who are subjected to senseless Progressive Policy creating these vulnerable target rich environments where we are the ones criminalized for Lawful possession of means to defend our life's.

CMU Policy:

No person shall possess, discharge or otherwise use any weapon on any property owned, leased or otherwise controlled by the University. This prohibition applies regardless of whether the individual has a concealed weapon permit or is otherwise authorized by law to possess, discharge or use any such device. Exceptions to this prohibition are listed below.

By stroke of pen, Governor Snyder sealed the limiting fate with owning the above.  We law abiding citizens shall be infringed - by politicians, and the lawless.

My heart goes out to the young lady who was assaulted.  Innocence lost, again.  I personally do not have a daughter, but am completely able to imagine the horror a parent would be going through right now, especially when one knows that there were options available for their little girl to be safe.

Central Michigan University police is investigating an attempted abduction at gunpoint Wednesday night outside the Student Activity Center.

According to an alert sent out to the campus community at approximately 12:20 a.m. Thursday, a female was approached at gunpoint at approximately 9:30 p.m. by a male suspect in the parking lot of the SAC, a popular workout facility connected to the CMU Events Center off Broomfield Road.

The alleged suspect, described as a white male between 20 and 30 years old, 5-foot-8 and 160 pounds with short blonde hair, then kidnapped the victim and her vehicle, a blue 2003 Ford Escape with Michigan registration "CNN9599."

The victim eventually escaped from the suspect, but he took off south in the her vehicle.

Obviously, the Governerd just needs to raise revenue for more signage.

WASHINGTON, DC:  Dr. Dan Benishek (MI-01) today released the following statement after the Obama Administration announced its plan to pursue sweeping new gun control measures:

"Law-abiding gun owners in Northern Michigan should not have their Second Amendment rights restricted because of the actions of criminals that are determined to hurt innocent people.  We cannot allow our Constitutional rights to be eroded to achieve a false sense of security.

While I believe we need to have a national conversation about violence, our society's values, and the state of mental health care in this country, I don't think the President's plan to take guns out of the hands of responsible people is the answer.  Guns are not the problem, evil people are.  The only thing these proposed restrictions would do is prevent law-abiding individuals from protecting their homes, children, and businesses.

The Administration has also stated it intends to sidestep the legislative branch to implement its new gun control measures without the approval of Congress.  That is unacceptable.  The American people deserve to have this debate done the right way--in the open and with the consent of their elected representatives."

Impeachment is an option.  Put all the damn cards on the table.
