(it didn't really say reinvert, it used to say reinvent, shooter just made it look that way...)
Our "oh shucks, he's so geeky" gubernatorial CEO of the State of Michigan, Ricky Snyder is trying not only to turn our state around fiscally, he is f**king flipping democracy on its head! You all were busy watching Governor Walker rock Wisconsin's world, while Snyder was in his Lansing office quietly putting his sheep's clothing on.
Here we go, from the Michigan Messenger:
"According to the law, which has already been approved in the House, the governor will be able to declare "financial emergency" in towns or school districts and appoint someone to fire local elected officials, break contracts, seize and sell assets, and eliminate services.
Under the law whole cities or school districts could be eliminated without any public participation or oversight, and amendments designed to provide minimal safeguards and public involvement were voted down."
Remember when you used to cast a vote, and elect someone to office? At the local level, it's the only time you really feel that your vote makes a difference, right? Many people know, or have met their mayors or city council members, personally. What's the point of voting when you know that the Governor can give anything (your city, your school system, etc...) to anyone he wants?
