I don’t know if this is good or bad?

They’ve actually been doing some good stuff. The RTW smack-down being the crown jewel.

It helps that neither the House, Senate or the SCOM have a Democrat majority.

He just beeotch slapped the pro-abortion crowd. If I understand it correct he signed a bill that makes all "clinic's" follow inspection guidelines and nixed BCN from going forward with a structure change since they were essentially following the Sibilius Mandate.

Those two took cohones IMHO...

Oh, and then the Emergency Manager Law was nixed by a referendum in Nov. and he brought it back with 4 options and it puts Detroit ( Detwaa ) in a box again. They have more choices, but if they do not get their **** together, the new manager can nix all Union Contracts but I am not sure if that is w/ or w/out Chapter 9 Bankruptcy....

The national spotlight is not on this guy, he maybe bolder than Walker at this point, he is impressing the living daylights out of me in the last 2 months...

Snyder-Walker 2016 works for me, I have a bad feeling about Rubio, I want a Gov....

Its been mostly good. You should hear the screeching from liberals complaining about requiring abortion clinics to be licensed and have actual doctors on the premises.

Something else that will stir the unions up.

Round 2: Mich. Gov. Takes on Union Contract Agreements, Collective Bargaining

The new law, passed by the Michigan Legislature, will give local governments and ailing school districts the opportunity to choose their own remedy. If a review team finds that a financial emergency exists, those communities can request an emergency manager, ask for a mediator, file for bankruptcy or introduce a reform plan with the state.

Furthermore, under the new law, emergency managers would have the power to throw out, modify, or terminate labor union agreements, according to The Detroit News. Collective bargaining could also be suspended for up to five years.

“Something else that will stir the unions up.”

Stir them up? They will go apoplectic! Just hoping that this “renaissance” in government that's started in the heartland of the union, will spread to California.
