For the sake of argument (I'm in a very forgiving mood this am) let's just say that you saw his name, then TOTALLY missed this sentence, the one that looked like:

"Michigan's government class - school, state and local government employees - is proving far more immune to our state's economic decline than private sector citizens. In fact, recent statistics demonstrate that most government employees are prospering compared to Michigan's long-suffering private sector workers."

Elected officials aren't the only people whose salaries and wages we are paying.

My take on his plan: I like his proposal. I don't see it having a snowball's chance of getting implemented. Sorry, but the political will just isn't there in Lansing today. Lansing and "saving money" have never been words that I've used very often in sentences.

But I like his proposal nonetheless.
