Chamber flip-flops on Right to Work

Rick Michigan

So this is how much pull Rick has with his crazies, huh?  He can't even keep them in check.  Time for Rick to state that'd he'd veto or sign this.  He's got to realize that the longer this drags on without him taking a stance, the weaker and more ineffectual he looks.

I hope that if he is dumb enough to back this, that he also smart enough to realize that if the grand jury investigation doesn't get Bolger, we will, this time, along with quite a few other folks in swing districts, and that is own electoral chances for '14 are greatly reduced, and that the law he signs will probably be overturned by an intitiative down the road.

I thought he

already said he would leave it up to the legislature, implying he would sign it if it gets to his desk.

But really, does anyone actually think they aren't going to do this? Why would they not? Republicans hate unions, right to mooch is a long standing goal of theirs, and they won't pass up this chance. Fear of damage to their electoral chances has not stopped these teabaggers from anything yet.
