Michigan Senate Democrats

Our state government (US) has a structural deficit, foisted on us by those who thought tax cuts would solve all problems. If this had been the case, our state would now be one of the wealthiest instead of an example of conservative mismanagement.

Senator Prusi,,,Thank you and Thank you to all the State Senate Democrats for fighting these issues of the volumes of cuts. Please hold on until we can get there in 2010 to carry the torch to a brighter tomorrow. I'm working hard to help gain the Democrat majority in the 2010 election.

the repub's need to check with there junkie talk show host leader before they can do anything, how do you expect repub's to even have an opinion if they don't turn on the TV or Radio first.

This says it all...

Finally, somebody tells it like it is! They haven't deliberated anything in the Senate. Everything is behind closed doors. Months ago, I asked many legislators why there was no debate going on. I thought that what was the purpose of a representative body.

I agree with the above posts!! Way to go Senator.... we need more like you!

Why not Detroit or rest of Michigan be the place for making Movie,s! Michigan need new kinds of jobs, it need grow with the times.if Tax,s Breaks being in jobs , you have do what have to do.some times you have to spend to receive in Seattle and Washington State movie making and Tv show,s
had made Washington state popuar .

"you" created? Thats a bit of a streach there bud, Did the economy have anything to do with it? I'll wait so you can tune into Fox and find out what your next opinion is

Great way to lead by example Senator Whitmer. I'm pulling for you as Michigan's next AG!

Keep up the fight, Sen. Whitmer!

Most doctors would actually profit from this, so long as more than 3% of their patients are Medicaid patients. It's not too much to ask. This is good, moral legislation. And BTW, the author does not mention that many doctors DO support it, as shown in the rally last week.

Give it up! Raise taxes on all citizens to generate revenue
the State needs!

I do agree with you Joahna... and I apologize for being shortsighted. I wouldn't want to see anybody who has worked full time for years and years at a job only to be cut off of the pension they were promised. The court judges are doing that now to many hourly factory workers whose contract called for pension and healthcare for many years. When I ... Read Morespoke about part time people nondeserving of lifetime pensions, I meant for those congressionals who have worked part time for a few years and are promised a full huge pension and healthcare benefits for a lifetime. How fair is that. That should have never happened to begin with. Not in any job do you work a few years and should expect a lifetime of benefits from that short employment. That's what's overwhelming the state and federal budgets. I do agree with people 20 something who need to start saving for their pension years now. But I know it's hard with costs so high and raising a family on a middle class income is not easy and still they have to find a few pennies to save for their retirement years. Now that's really overwhelming but at least they will have the edge if they persevere.

Another great idea from Buzz Thomas!

interesting!
