Granholm spokeswoman Liz Boyd said the agency was following standard procedure in its response. "But we feel this (law) really gets in the way of common sense," Boyd said.
"We want to protect kids, but the law needs to be reasonable," she said. "When the governor learned of this, she acted quickly and called the director personally to ask him to intervene."
State Rep. Brian Calley, R-Portland, said he was working to draft legislation that would exempt situations like Snyder's from coverage under Michigan's current day care regulations.
The bill will make it clear that people who aren't in business as day care providers don't need to be licensed, Calley said.
"These are just kids that wait for the bus every morning," he said. "This is not a day care."

notice it took an R to actually do something to fix the problem permanently rather than to intervene on one specific case...
ahh, when it comes to handling Democrats, nothing seems to work as well as public humiliation
That’s all the left can do.......total control. Even over baby sitters. Have them do something serious and they can’t handle it.
In a NORMAL world....COMMON SENSE would rule....but, we live in crazeeeee times! where CRAZZEEE libs rule.
Unbelieveable. We need legislation to let kids stop over to a neighbor's house.
Future laws in Michigan:
A bartender license to serve wine at dinner to guests
A hairdresser license to cut you son's hair
A food preparer's license to cook some burgers for the neighbor's kids
Idiots on the left - there is no bottom to their stupidity
The neighbor who reported it must be a “paid day-care provider”.
Behold the power of the new populist media....
God bless the Republic.
Makes sense. I was wondering which busy body reported this person in the first place.
I can think of a few things to call the neighbor.
Oh yes; it will get really interesting when the nosy busybody's butt gets pounded by public backlash. Wait, that didn't sound right....
