| Ballot drives to overturn things done by elected state government. You may count benevolent overlord Rick Michigan among those who aren't fans.

This reminds of the second emergency manager law they were talking about moving to make sure that even if P.A. 4 were put on hold pending a vote of the people, that they could operate emergency managers under P.A. 4.5, to which it would appear no one had any objection since they were all up in arms about its cousin. The bright side is this ought to have the teabaggers whipped into a nice, frothy rage by afternoon, and decked out in tri-cornered hats and Ben Franklin glasses on behalf of evil rich man Monty Burns Matty Maroun by the weekend. |
