In Michigan, Prop 2 would have given the unions constitutional veto power over the state legislature. -DEFEATED
Prop 3 would have constitutionally mandated that the state be 25% powered by green energy (primarily wind) by 2025. Even supporters called it impossible but wanted a constitutional mandate anyway. - DEFEATED

I hate to be the you-know-what in the punch bowl, but unions, environuts, and gun grabbers are going to have a lot more power not. Unions managed to defeat an important measure in CA that would have limited their ability to force union members to pay for their political activities. All these groups want their payback now, and already, unions are talking about reviving card check. Environuts are going to destroy the coal industry and try to stop the Keystone Pipeline, and Obama has expressed support for the UN gun treaty. These are dangerous times.
