The Michigan Senate has approved Republican Gov. Rick Snyder’s slashing of public education funding – more than $1 billion in cuts affecting all levels of Michigan public education. But Michigan Education Association spokesman Doug Pratt says the Republican action isn’t the last word on public education funding in Michigan.

: “It’s not really a done deal until the voters have a chance to react. And they’re gonna react. Polling shows that the public is incensed about this. And they’re gonna make their voices heard in 2012 if not sooner. The governor’s approval rating has gone through the floor. The governor has said repeatedly that that’s not something he’s worried about. The lawmakers who have to run for re-election in November of 2012 are gonna start to care very much.”

1. Recall

We find out this week if we got enough signatures to get the recall on the ballot in November. If not, we keep gathering signatures and it will be on the ballot here in February.

He can do irreversible damage in 18 months. I actually have teacher friends who voted for this idiot. Hate Radio pretty much rules the SE corner of the state, and getting him out of office is going to be very difficult. He's also begun to install unelected puppet governments in communities that vote (D) - google Benton Harbor.
