At some point, people have to realize the Michigan Constitution is not the kitchen sink. |
He who plays the last trump card wins. If you vote for the ballot initiative in November, you are voting to lower the minimum wage in Michigan. |
It is important we have a checks and balances system. A bicameral legislature provides a diversity of membership, leadership and outlook that can't be achieved in a unicameral legislature. |
It's not a bad idea, but when you look at the cost of a lot of things, you have to look at where it fits into the grand scheme of getting the economy moving again. |
Local school districts already have the ability to create anti-bullying policies and curriculum if they deem it necessary, so we're reviewing whether there's a true need for this legislation in the first place. |

The City Council kind of looked a gift horse in the mouth. And now we're not sure if the horse has gotten away. |
We are working with Sen. Johnson's office to save the zoo and keep it open. It's hard to predict how easy or difficult it will be to get it done. |
We have concerns over where the governor thinks she is going to get the money for that. |
We just had this debate. It would seem if they had concerns, they would have been addressed in that process. |

We thought it would be a good idea for the best brains in the economic world to work on this. |
We want to see this issue resolved by the end of the month. |
What the Democrats seem to be doing is finding new and exciting ways to punish businesses. We think that sends a bad message. The image it would project is one of a state that is not friendly to job providers. |
While it may sound good initially, this has the potential to hurt businesses at a time when we should be helping them. If this purchasing pool restricts access to certain retailers or undercuts prices, then the state is meddling in the free-market system. |
