Oh… good Heavens!!! Our colleagues on the other side of the aisle just called a caucus for the third time today. It’s almost 9pm, and we’ve had no more than three votes. Four, if you count the two times we voted on the Corrections budget.
It least the lobbyists are staying busy just outside the doors. Special interest groups, like the MEA, are applying heavy pressure to raise taxes of any kind.
All of this gives me plenty of time to keep in contact with my district. Interesting what the taxpayers say in relation to what tax spending groups feel about budget solutions. I have great empathy for educators, human service workers, and state employees, but the state of Michigan is just plain out of money!
