People voted for her, so she should be strictly enforced.

She truly does not care to even talk about the issues outside of the urban poor or East Lansing pot smokers.

The 2022 Michigan gubernatorial election will take place on November 8, 2022.... fun day indeed.

Why? Has she embezzled all that unspent Covid money?

Did the country vote for BiteMe?

I’ll bet the POTATUS isn’t the only pol Deep State’s installed.

Stop dissing our fellow countrymen and women.

When we have honest elections and they elect lefties, then rag on them.

That should be good for another couple of thousand votes for James Craig.

When Michigan politicians rail against the oil companies and warn them to not engage in ‘profiteering’ during times of high gasoline prices, they don’t seem to mind that the state will be reaping a windfall.

Howzat? Michigan has both a per-gallon tax and a SALES tax on gas. When the cost skyrockets, the same number of gallons sold produces more sales tax due to the higher dollar amount spent per transaction. There ought to be a cap or reduction in the 6% sale tax rate (on gas) to cut us some slack.

Could have been worse if the vindictive witch got her forty-five sent per gallon gas tax a while back.
