Michigan Roads - Proposal 1 - Vote NO NO NO.... Update
L Brook Patterson, Oakland County Executive, said on the WXYX Chl 7 News that Proposal 1 - "is a TRAIN ROBBERY" by insurance companiews who want to get their hands on the $20b Catastrophic Insurance Fund for 'their nefarious purposes'. So Tuesday - Vote NO...NO ...NO... to bad governance.
Michigan residents should not reward bad governance by voting to apporve Proposal 1 - a convaluted proposal to fix Michigan roads, which are a disgrace and dangerous.
Republican policies in Michigan and across this country are anti-middle class, anti-poor, anti-women, anti-minorities, anti-GLBT and their anti-President Obama statements, actions and rhetoric have weakend America around the world - Republicans have done this - not President Obama.
For six years, and as the Tea Party movement has grown, good governance by Republicans has disappeared and and so has their common sense and decency - good thinking Republicans have been shunted aside, in favor of, strident ignorant voices who appeal to the base fears and prejuidices of people.
Michigan residents must reject Propoasal 1 and demand a long term comprehensive proposal to fix the roads, bridges, sewers, power grid, and to protect our water resources. This will cost billions of dollars not $1.2 billion, but a continuing spending of tax dollars to protect us into the future and we must not wait !!!!
Now - threats !!! US Sen Carl Levin is implying in TV spots that if Proposal 1 - isn't passed - that cuts to schools and public safety will have to be made...
Lies: That Proposal 1 will mean that 'quality control' measures will be instituted to make road and bridge builders pay for failed roads and bridges - but Michigan has for the past 13 years had such provisions - but Mi Dept of Transportation has never forced a road builder to make repairs, letting the taxpayer pay and pay.
