Those youngsters had better run faster.
Our idiot dems in the state are voting TODAY on two bills — one raises our income tax from 3.9 to 4.4 or 4.6 (I’m betting the latter); the other hikes the sales tax to 7% and would tax some services.
Yes, the state is nearly 2 BILLION in the red but heaven forbid they’d make necessary cuts, like teachers fatcat benefits and lunatic spending policy in the state government itself.
Run away! Run away!
Sounds just like the idiots running New Jersey.
it’d be better to cut down all the welfare programs.
i’m sick to death of seeing people spending hundreds of dollars at meijer buying steaks and chips and sodas and candy and cookies, and paying on their EBT cards, complaining that the pork rinds didn’t ring up as a food item and they aren’t going to pay the $1 for it so the cashier better fix it. then stopping at the liquor store on the way out and pulling out a wad of cash buying a bunch of beer and liquor, then heading outside to hop into a new buick sitting in a handicap spot.
if the state had 2 brain cells to rub together, it would hire on regulation workers to investigate the spending of welfare money, and start charging these people for the frauds they are committing.
Huh, seems to me Michiganders just REELECTED their DEmocrat masters. Now get back to work! “More bricks, less straw!”
Does MI have a looming benefits funding shortage for their state/teachers. In NJ we have a $ 5 billion annual budget shortage funded by increased fees, bonds and some cuts. Our biggest problem is that we have not funded our healthcare fund for state worker/teacher retirees since 1994. The state signed a contract with the state workers and teachers that if they worked atleast 25 years and have the age to retire, their health insurance will be 100% covered. No one told them that the state stopped funding the fund since 1994 and now the fund is $ 58 billion short. Unlike the federal government, the state can not print money, and unlike Social Security/Medicare the benefits between the state and the state workers is a legal contract. It must be paid (if union went to state court they will win) backed by court order or the state can declare bankruptcy (state court can block that and mandate the legislature to raise taxes or cut spendings to meet their contractual obligations). I am getting out of NJ as soon as possible.
