Besides these Big Government votes by Zorn, one can only wonder why, Brian?

(1)Government officials breaking the law without care or regard
Article originally posted on Michigan Open Carry, Inc.
The Free Press today had an article about Huron Valley schools and open carry. In the article, Huron Valley Superintendent Baker is quoted as saying:
“I am grateful he went to the building administrator and told that principal what he planned on doing in advance,” Baker said. “I’ve had multiple conversations with (the parent), he’s talked with the building administrators, and he’s been very forthright, in some regards very progressive, and I appreciate that. He didn’t just show up unannounced. But that doesn’t change the way I feel about the law.“
I for one am tired of Government types making up rules that they expect us to live by, but when the rules become an inconvenience for them or their jobs, then they feel the rules can be ignored. For people who have been paying attention for these past 200 years, this shouldn’t be something that is a surprise.
The US Constitution is supposed to be the highest law of the land. It was designed not to restrict what people can do, but rather restrict what the people that call themselves the Government can do. Indeed, the Constitution creates only two prohibition against individuals:
The word “Constitution” has the word “constitute” as a base word. The document was intended to be an outline of what constitutes the US Federal Government and its powers. But as we all know, our governments (Federal, State, Local) haven’t been good at heeding their own laws — even the Constitution.
Circa 1870 Lysander Spooner wrote this of the US Constitution in his essay No Treason: The Constitution of No Authority:
But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain – that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.
It should be of no surprise the people in the Government are breaking and ignoring the rules (rules that people in the Government made). They’ve been doing it a very long time. Like the US Constitution, Michigan’s Firearm Preemption Law has no “teeth”, no consequences for those who break it. That is why it is so important that HB 5500 becomes law.
Sadly, it seems House Judiciary Chair, Kevin Cotter (R) has no intentions to let the bil out of committee before the end of the legislative session this December. Given the law stalled at its first step on a long path, it’s doubtful it’ll become law this session and with this Governor.
There is an answer to the tyranny of schools like Huron Valley though. If the State legislature won’t address the problem, Michigan Open Carry, Inc. will seek redress in court. We are seeking to prosecute a K12 school very shortly for their violation of State firearm preemption law. Won’t you consider helping us today with your most generous donation?

The average price of gas in Michigan is $ 3.10 a gallon for regular while the average is $3.06 in the metropolitan Detroit area.
In Monroe, gas has been hovering as low as $ 2.85 this week.
Ms. Hiltz sees the trend in prices declining throughout November and into December, and said it is possible for the state average to drop below $ 3, which hasn’t happened since 2010.
Notice how many in the linked article have been so conditioned that they’re *thankful* gas is around $3 when just a decade ago it was $1.44 a gallon? Sheeple were made to be shorn.
Keep that in mind for the Lame Duck in Lansing, if/when the Nerd is unleashed with his wholesale tax agenda & registration fee hike.
(20)Nuh Uh.(1)As Halloween nears, and folks decompress from their busy schedules with getting into their Trick or Treating festivities, what could possibly be a better opportunity for a bunch of cash strapped municipalities with public sector union legacy costs than to launch a money grab scheme involving 140+ LEO agencies in 26 counties?
Now, let’s adjourn below for another presentation from Jackboot Theatre Productions.
*The Click It Or Ticket campaign is part of Michigan’s $trategic Highway $afety Plan signed by Gov. Rick Snyder in 2013.

Good news for MI! – @GM to invest $240 million in Warren for next-gen Volt http://t.co/EFa80OIRos (via @detroitnews)
— House Speaker Bolger (@SpeakerBolger) October 28, 2014
So, what are some of the highlights?
The current and next-generation Volt will continue to be built at GM’s Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant.
The Volt has not met sales expectations set in 2011 by former CEO Dan Akerson, who wanted production to hit 60,000 annually by 2012. Since the plug-in hybrid was launched in late 2010, GM has sold about 69,000. Last year, GM lowered the price by $5,000 to boost sales.
Barra would not give volume targets for the newest Volt, saying she thinks GM has learned its lessons from sharing overly optimistic sales goals.
…..Barra wouldn’t comment on whether the Volt is profitable; she said GM doesn’t comment on profitability of specific car lines. She also declined to say whether the sticker price of the 2015 Volt would be lower, and wouldn’t say if it would be offered in multiple models.
Oh please, stop with the crap: http://www.michigancapitolconfidential.com/16192
The battery cells for the Volt are produced at LG Chem in Holland.
Jase, you’re an ass. So is the entire Senate.

RightMi.com readers cannot say they weren’t warned, and if anyone trusts this guy, then they are irreparably beyond stupid. Also, just another reason why the *professional* Chattering Class‘ endorsements are completely useless.
(16)Nuh Uh.(2)Meet Ebola Patient Four
Craig Spencer, a 33-year-old emergency room doctor, is the fourth confirmed case in the U.S. and the first in the city.
Matt Lockwood, a spokesman for Wayne State University, said Spencer graduated from its School of Medicine in 2008.“It doesn’t surprise us that one of our medical students was working for an organization like Doctors Without Borders in helping the under-served. A lot of our students come to Wayne State for its reputation of working with the under-served,” he said Thursday night. “Our thoughts are with him, and we wish the best for him.”
It’s way past time for Michigan’s public universities Socialism indoctrination centers to be weaned from the taxpayer’s teat with allowing them to financially stand on their own merit. If an adult chooses to enter these hives of egalitarianism they should pay full ticket price without coercive governmental subsidy. Which, this leads us back to our deceitful CPA governor who steals from K-12 only to prop up those like Matt Lockwood collecting a taxpayer funded paycheck while braying about their alumni Fabianism with reckless abandon.

Snyder and Schauer both wrong; potential revenue lost to schools is a billion dollars a year http://t.co/zMhNH81GeH via @MichiganRadio

Well, what else would one expect from a number-cruncher who pilfered millions to play with dead babies?
Maybe, oh I dunno, like buy a computer directly from Gateway?
(16)Nuh Uh.(1)As if yesterday’s lobbyist funded stupidity or, being caught up in ongoing no-bid payola was not enough, Snyder takes it upon himself to trot out the state’s low-rent versions of Ron Klain, and Tom Frieden… without any further delay …the Nerd’s 1,000 beds schtick.
Flanked by Michigan Department of Community Health Director Nick Lyon and Chief Medical Executive Mathew Davis — who are leading Michigan’s Ebola response — Snyder said Michigan has launched an expansive preparedness effort though not a single case of Ebola has been detected in the state.
“Ebola is hopefully a low threat, low-risk problem in the state of Michigan, but it’s a serious one,” Snyder said. “This is an evolving situation … (and) we’re preparing to adjust as circumstances change.”
Among steps taken so far, Michigan’s Community Health Emergency Coordination Center has been activated, as well as the Michigan State Police Emergency Management and Homeland Security Division.
The Department of Community Health has been in daily contact with the federal Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention. State health officials also have coordinated several statewide conference calls with hospitals, including a briefing on new infection control protocols released Tuesday by the CDC.
The state is working with ambulance services statewide to make sure emergency medical technicians are properly trained to transport Ebola patients, said Davis, Michigan’s chief doctor.
The CDC is developing a network of regional hospitals designated to receive Ebola patients, but has not yet named a Michigan hospital to participate, he said.
Jeez, why would that be? Mmmm, maybe just 23 beds from coast to coast.
“Whether Michigan will have a regional Ebola treatment center is a matter of ongoing discussion with the CDC,” Davis said.
Davis and Snyder urged all Michiganians to get flu shots, noting symptoms of flu could mask the symptoms of Ebola, which include vomiting, diarrhea and fever.
Flu shots? Ya, that’s the ticket (see bullet point #10).
Sleep well knowing Barack and Rick got this handled.
