Pssst! Hey Lansing?
by Corinthian Scales • • 4 Comments
Yes, I said Lansing, because, well, it took complete Republican control 4 years, 5 months, 5 days and $10 Million of our dollars to do absolutely nothing about our roads.
I’ll also remind readers that both the current Senate Majority Leader, and Speaker of the House, voted for and promoted Proposal 1 – Not One County Approved – by a devastating margin. That means for those elected ‘public servants’ in Lansing… with a rusty chainsaw.
Now, you boys and girls playing politician want to keep screwing around gouging us while shirking basic duties?
What’s most offensive is that voters were put in this position at all.
Road repair is a basic part of any state budget, one that the other states — 46 of them with part-time legislatures — are able to manage. There’s no excuse for underfunding our roads.
Our state budget increased $4.7 billion, nearly 10%, from fiscal years 2012 to 2015. New money was there: It just wasn’t spent on roads.
We’ll all be in Lansing if you keep it up. Sorry, former Rep. McMillin, but simply throwing more money at MDOT is not the complete solution and inspires others to consider that the path of least resistance answer.
Speaker @Rep_Cotter on new taxes: “I don’t want to rule it out because I think that’s just irresponsible.” #MiProp1 #miLEG

No more tax hikes – No more excuses.
Kirk Steudle? Fire or prosecute… preferably both. Really, a missing bridge?
Rep. Pettalia, and Sen. Casperson, you’re both a disgrace. So is Schuette’s Public Integrity Unit.
The Nerd’s Ann Arbor SPARK clique days of maxing-out contracts are breathing its WALLY scheme death rattle. Complete Streets? Repeal that wasteful garbage. Neuter the MDOT bureaucracy. Streetscaping? NO. Michigan is underwater $7,500+ per head, and has yet another money vacuum waiting, which was aided by ineffectual state control.
Fix the goddam roads. Full stop.
Ps. we’ll see you Nerd bootlickers soon on your bullshit costly energy package…

Because the special interest root cause of Proposal 1 makes this timely.
Wood stoves? Close your school? This is our state government in action, folks. Lansing’s Republican majority dare touch the insurance industry’s $20B slush fund? Nyet.
Think this kind of government endorsed behavior has no effect on you?
Just wait until Lansing starts working on Snyder, Bloomberg, and Obama’s energy policy in Michigan.
Well informed RightMi.com readers cannot say they were not warned here, here, here, and here.

Glasnost, Michiganders!

Because why shouldn’t we proud Michiganians (there is a difference) openly celebrate our tax dollars indoctrinating Michigan’s next crop of li’l dirt-worshiping comrades?

Hey, former Sen. Howard Walker? Screw you.
For that matter, this guy who bankrolled a bulk of this guy’s second term – screw them too!
