Union officials say another driver for the drop is a law from that year that received less attention. It declared that 42,000 in-home health care workers were no longer eligible to be represented by a union because many were family members being reimbursed by Medicaid. Unions were unable to overturn the measure at the ballot box.

That is NOT what happened. Jenny Grandstand FORCED all hose workers into dues-paying union membership, without their having been asked, as a gift to the union involved. It took regime change to get that knocked out, but then the miserable union curs tried to get it reinstated -- Michigan's VOTERS, not "unions", voted against it -- while continuing to peddle their narrative with the ready and willing help of Partisan Media Shills.

I almost wish that were true.

GOP Senators, SEIU Taxpayer Giveaways, Campaign Cash and More, OH MY!

On Aug. 5, 2009, Sen. Jason Allen, R-Traverse City, introduced Senate Bill 731, which would give statutory cover to a scheme transferring approximately $6.6 million in taxpayer money annually to the SEIU government employee union, one of the parents of ACORN. This is accomplished by creating a shell government "employer" for some 42,000 individuals who are actually hired by elderly or disabled Medicaid recipients to provide personal care services in their homes. A Mackinac Center lawsuit is pending regarding a similar arrangement imposed on home day care providers.

Senate Bill 731 was co-sponsored by these Republican Senators: Roger Kahn, Bruce Patterson, Valde Garcia, Tony Stamas, Judson Gilbert, Mark Jansen, Randy Richardville, and Patricia Birkholz.

This is why I fought so hard against Jason Allen for 1st district congressman. (Dan Benishek hasn't been much better)
