Blogging For Michigan:: Saugatuck Dunes threatened by a web of Republican influence in Michigan





"Aubrey McClendon appears to have powerful, mostly Republican friends. He is supported by the right-wing think tank, The Mackinac Center. Allegan County Clerk Joyce Watts and her Deputy Clerk Julia Ryan are helping him. He's got Congessman Fred Upton in his corner. Attorney General Bill Schuette is assisting his efforts. A federal judge, Paul Maloney, regularly rules in his favor. Even the head of the MDNRE, Dan Wyatt is weighing in on his behalf.

In the meantime, with these odds and a seemingly endless amount of money stacked against them, Saugatuck Township continues to battle to save the Saugatuck Dunes from the sort of slash and burn development that Aubrey McClendon is well known for. As is often the case, McClendon can lose repeatedly in his efforts and can keep on trying. If the Township loses even once, the Saugatuck Dunes will be forever irreparably impacted to make a very rich man even richer." Full Article Here | Blogging For Michigan

Rev. Jesse Jackson critical of emergency chief's actions in Benton Harbor, encourages lawsuit :: The Republic

Post by | Boyd Nutting
Thank you Reverend Jackson for taking your time to address Benton Harbor's plight. But where is your president now that we need him? Why isn't the federal government stepping in and saying NO! This is a takeover of the people of Benton Harbor's democratic rights, their constitutional rights to vote for their representatives. Where is the National Guard when we NEED them? HELP!

The Issue is Jobs, Not Deficit Reduction | The Nation




The Issue is Jobs, Not Deficit Reduction | The Nation


"Republicans never cared about deficit reduction when George Bush was president. And, for the most part, they don't care now -- as evidenced by broad GOP support for House Budget Committee chair Paul Ryan's plan to keep the budget out of balance until 2040 while clearing the way to begin streaming federal Social Security and Medicare and Medicaid dollars into the coffers of Wall Street speculators and insurance-industry profiteers.

But Republican leaders do care about controlling the debate. When the country is focused on an overblown debate about debts and deficits, that forecloses discussion about the serious economic and social challenges facing the nation. It also forecloses discussion about holding bankers and CEOs accountable for irresponsible and illegal practices that have done far more harm to the nation's fiscal stability than retirees and the children of low-income families who need a little health care.

President Obama's decision to mimic GOP talking points when it comes to fiscal matters has done more damage to his poll numbers -- and Democratic political prospects -- than anything said or done by an almostly hopelessly inept Republican team.

And one Democratic congressman is calling the president out on the issue." See Full Article | The Nation

Experts skeptical state is truly broke
"The governor has repeated the message time and again, from his Inauguration Day speech to a “fireside chat” to discuss his proposal to limit collective bargaining for most public employees. It is usually followed by calls for budget cuts."

"Trouble is, many experts say Wisconsin isn’t really broke."

"One woman who identified herself as a teacher praised what she called the “Fab 14,” the 14 Democratic state senators who fled to Illinois in in effort to delay a vote on the budget repair bill.

“You think the 14 people who violated the Constitution and violated their oath of office are fabulous people?” Moulton asked.

“Yeah,” many in the crowd responded, breaking out in sustained applause.

Tuesday’s session broke down so much that 48 minutes into it, Moulton threatened to pull the plug. Substituting a wooden spoon as a gavel, Moulton said: “If we don’t calm down, we will adjourn this meeting.” Moulton had to pound that spoon against a table several times to try to get some order in the listening session. Jeanne Gustafson of Chippewa Falls was greeted with loud applause when she said: “I can bide my time and wait until we can get some recalls in our area.” Full Article | The Chippewa Herald
