Live from the Capitol

by: LiberalLucy

Tue Jan 29, 2008 at 17:58:31 PM EST


Greetings from the State Capitol located in beautiful downtown Lansing!

7:35pm - Be sure to check out the diaries with the transcripts of the address on the MichLib main page.  

7:03pm - The Governor and First Gentleman have entered the House. Lots and lots of clapping, pomp and circumstance, and due credit for the Governor. All of which she deserves, clearly! 

6:22pm - The official procession has begun, with Lt. Governor John Cherry leading the House and Senate are filing in and are joined by their guests, along with the State Supreme Court and various state officials including the Secretary of State and the Attorney General. 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

I'm here with hundreds and hundreds others as we eagerly await the Governor's annual State of the State. For those of you opting to watch via the Intertube vs. TV, you can watch along here at MGTV.

As for now, the legislators are starting to file in, and the official procession will begin exactly at 6:30, with the speech to commence at 7pm. Stay tuned!

Nothing is easier than solving a problem on the back of the poor. People who don't have lobbyists or clout.

Jobs, health care, protecting our jobs, education (0.00 / 0)
Nice symbolism with the handshake...

Protect Great Blue Jewels (0.00 / 0)
She's referencing the water legislation that Rep. Warren and Sen. Birkholz are tangling over.  

Deafening silence (0.00 / 0)
With the tax breaks to businesses who create jobs in Michigan. Were they prepared for that one?

So far, moving to the right... (4.00 / 1)
Reaching out to Bishop, applauding Republican bill sponsors, cutting business taxes.  Defending the tax cuts to protect 'what we love' but $200M in budget reforms, no new fees, no new taxes.  Read her lips.  

Bishop looks sick (0.00 / 0)
She is not giving him much to fight her with. She's winning on both sides of the aisle.

Yeah, $1 billion stimulus package!!! (0.00 / 0)
A New Deal proposal that will really bring jobs here.  

Altnernative Energy (0.00 / 0)
If you want to win, you skate to where the puck is going. That's alternative energy=jobs for Michigan. Right on, Jen. Now that pause for applause from lawmakers wasn't just bad timing..these folks need to get on the alternative energy ball. So far, lawmakers are more inclined to lay prostate before old line utility and energy companies instead of moving bold alternative energy and energy efficiency bills. Maybe now they will get it!  Maybe.
