And I always say Michigan doesn't have earthquakes.

If anyone wants to be added to the Michigan Cap Con ping list, let me know.

How many union presidents are not fat-cat millionaires and billionaires?

"Under the legislation, employees would only pay union representation fees (also called "agency fees") if they chose to do so."

Why don't they just call it what it is, "protection money?"

I’m promoting the use of the term “Union taxes” because that’s all dues really are. A tax paid to one more unresponsive layer of government.

This is perhaps the best news for Michigan since my lifetime (and I’m 50!)

Look at WI to see how many continue to pay union dues when they’re no longer forced to. If panic hasn’t set in yet around the offices of the MI union thugs it soon will.

None are billionaires, but I suspect most are fat.

The panic started the day after the election when both the big pro union propositions wee crushed.

A funny story from last year.

It is comical seeing the “pro-choice” crowd admitting that they are anti choice!

Tangent to this...

Rank and file teachers may not go on a screed against this..

You see they got a choice of retirement type plans recently.

My education gnome tells me his wife chose the 401k/403b option over the traditional that was frozen because it was too juicy not to.

They are no longer beholden to the Union Pensions, they are free.....

Not to worry - they’ll get some RAT judge out of bed and block this. Anyone want to take the opposite side of that bet?

The destruction of unions should be one of every conservatives’ top priorities. Eliminate the mind-control influence of unions over workers and you may have an outside shot at rational thinking taking place at the polls.

You also have an outside shot at America being competitive in the world once again.

A silver lining appears on a very cloudy day.

Godspeed, Michigan!

it is all about control of the pensions.

Pension money is where the power is located.

It has begun. According to what I’m seeing on twitter the goons have already tried kicking the doors open to get into the house and senate chambers and the capitol building is on lockdown.

Apparently these idiots can just walk off the job to go to Lansing.
