Over the years a lot of services has been discontinued. If taxes are raised on citizens whom are unemployed or employed on deadend jobs which don’t allow a person a enough money to return to work. How will they pay? The DOT has hendered a lot of people’s ability to reach their destination. If taxpayer’s money was mishandled, will heads be held accountable? Last, if union contracts can’t be renogotiated, would it be any different if a EM come in and did what was necessary? This problem has been marinating for most of my life in Detroit. I love this city and would like to see some of the charm it had in the past.

The Govenor needs to clean his own house. The poliicians are not taking a pay cut, nor pay for some of their own health insurance. Why not? We had to. Are they any better than us? NO!! I don’t know the last time when we got a pay raise but they make sure they get theirs! I vote that we have a part time government and see how they like it! Let them join us in line asking for help to pay our bills and feed our kids.

It’s easy to see that our politicians in MI are just like in DC. Take from everyone else to balance their budget but never take from themselves. It must be nice to get all that income and benefits they get for just sitting on the pompus asses fighting and smoozing and destroying the middle income society in the process. What common employee gets to lie, cheat, steal from others all day and still get top pay and benifits. Great job aye.

Our govenor is not considering anything but large companies. If I were independently wealthy as he is, I guess I would not worry about having to pay taxes on retire’s pensions.
This govenor is way overstepping his bounds.

Union breaking and reducing school funding is beyond my belief. EFM’s taking over our schools and breaking the back of unions will ultimately destroy our educational system. Should be have uncertified teachers teaching. With the removal of funding, teachers of quality will race to other states to get jobs.
