Well, now, here's a surprise: seems republicans, unhappy with another initiative, this one to enshrine collective bargaining rights into the Michigan constitution, have had intrepid Attorney General Bill Schuette investigate and his opinion is...
...that the initiative is too complicated for the hundred words it is allowed on the ballot. As if it wasn't bad enough that Michigan republicans embarrassed us and cost us dearly in recruiting businesses and talent to a state that's looking more and more like Rubesville with their supremely brilliant (and ultimately defeated) ruse that the fucking font size was wrong for the Emergency Manager Law Repeal Initiative, now we're supposed to believe the labor rights initiative is just too much for us poor working folk to understand.
Now, Mr. Schuette is a republican, and it may be beyond most of their members meager mental capabilities, but I'm pretty sure most of us know exactly what this is: another in a long line of republicans using any gimmick they can think of to subvert democracy and the will of the people to protect their corporate benefactors.
I mean heaven forbid we tell those benefactors to pound salt up their ass like the wise folks in Ohio did in repealing SB5.
Peace,
