I see from the local news last night, the Detroit news polling shows prop 2 losing even in Detroit. I assume it will take the other pro union proposals down with it.
Should be real interesting to see how the public sector unionistas react to such a repudiation.
From the Free Press poll published on Friday, they showed Props 1, 2, 4, 6 going down to defeat but 4 was close. Only having skimmed the article, I don't know why Prop 3 and 5 weren't addressed. I'm hoping it's not because they only reported on those not passing. It would be great if 5 passed, but I'm afraid of what that means for that green energy, Prop. 3. Our union seems to have stopped hassling us about Prop 2. I guess they sense the futility because the union called a mandatory emergency meeting Tues. morning (Nov. 6) with one item on the agenda only: to poll the members on what concessions we want to take. They begin contract negotiations in a few months. Our contract is up in June. I believe our district will be dissolved and will reopen as a charter.
Our school district - a formerly high-achieving district with great test scores, spiraled into the abyss when we became a "School of Choice", and can now not meet AYP - Adequate Yearly Progress. This is one area where I staunchly disagree with Republicans - the School of Choice issue. You want to set up your district for failure, just turn it into a school of choice. You're better off closing buildings and consolidating.
