  • Your New Scoop Site

    Welcome to Scoop!

    To help you figure things out, there is a Scoop Admin Guide which can hopefully answer most of your questions.

    Some tips:

    • Most of the layout is changed in "Blocks", found in the admin tools menu
    • Features can be turned on and off, and configured, in "Site Controls" in the admin tools menu
    • Stories have an "edit" link right beside the "Full Story" link on an index page, and right beside the "Post a Comment" link on the full story page. They can also be edited by clicking the story title in the "Story List" admin tool
    • Boxes are what allow you to write new features for Scoop; they require a knowledge of the perl programming language to work with effectively, although you can often make small changes without knowing much perl. If you would like a feature added but cannot program it yourself, ScoopHost does custom Scoop programming as one of its services.
    • If you aren't sure where to look for a particular feature or piece of display, try the "Search Admin Tools" link in the admin tools menu.

    "Skim Tracker" Points out Failure of Michigan Senate

    The Capitol Confidential "Skim Tracker" continues to show escalating costs to the state's home health care workers who were placed into the SEIU by the criminal enterprise known as the Granholm administration.  It is composed of two parts:
    The first counter tallies SEIU dues skimmed since the union and state officials first launched this scheme in 2007. The second shows the amount skimmed since June 9, 2011, when the Michigan House passed and sent to the Senate a bill to ban this and all similar "stealth unionization" efforts.

    Of course with the Senate firmly in control of the labor puppet Randy Richardville, don't expect any action straightening this mess out anytime soon.  Add to this the milquetoast R Snyder will not likely put any pressure on Richardville to get this off to a vote either.

    Fact of the matter is, any substantive reform in labor should not be expected until a vote of no-confidence for the senate majority leader is held, and he is removed from his powerful post.

    And the theft continues to grow.

    LIAR! MI Senator to Tea Party Organizer

    I would like to share with you some insight in to the methodology of the passage of SB 693... and the fall out

    Evidently some of Sen. Rick Jones (24th District) constituents were not happy with his yes vote or his comment on the Senate floor that I shared with you in the last Newsletter and post HERE "He had to "plug his nose and vote for the bill"
    How do I know that? Because I received an angry e-mail from Senator Jones. His e-mail is interesting in that it provides a window into some of the dealing going on under the Capitol Dome

    Senator Jones e-mail is HERE

    So let's address his assertions, shall we?

    First of all "You are spreading lies.  You do not understand why we had to do what we did."

    A Message To Our Legislators - Beware False Choices

    Before we forget

    What the heck is going on here?

    I can hardly keep up with the scandal laden atmosphere that apparently is still Michigan.  One piece of work that in my view has a prison sentence with the former governor's name all over it, is the forced unionization scam that was perpetrated on the very folks who could hardly realize in time what was happening much less have a chance to object.  A plan so deliberate and sinister, it took on a life that apparently continues to this day.

    What is going on I ask?!

    "For the state to operate a dubiously formed government entity that has been defunded by the Legislature seems unprecedented," said Patrick Wright, director of the Mackinac Center Legal Foundation. "But such shenanigans aren't entirely surprising given the origination of this agency and the machinations to preserve it for the sake of skimming `union dues' from independent contractors."

    Wright was referring to documents obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request filed by the Mackinac Center that point to behind-the-scenes legislative efforts to keep the council operating by other means. Among the documents, emails indicate that Sen. Roger Kahn, R-Saginaw Twp., was particularly focused on maintaining MQCCC."


    Ah crap.  We have criminal activities on our side too?

    There can be only one way a republican could move to support what was at the least a vary BAD mistake, and more likely a collusive effort between a cash seeking union and our former governor. Victims were many, yet there are still those who wish to see more.

    Kahn? Fess up. Spill the beans on the shenanigans you and Richardville are involved in, and walk away with SOME form of dignity.  You are about to see a whole lot of fun here with your name on it.

    Your move.

    Union Questionaire Draws Attention

    A posting I had here a few days ago poked fun at the SEIU Corrections unit (MCO) questionnaire that attempted to identify the core political allegiance of its membership.  It drew the attention of the Mackinac Center's Paul Kearsey, who asks a more important question than I had in my post.

    What about Policy?

    Kearsey opines:

    "The interesting and at the same time sobering thing about this is how SEIU leaders see their members through a strictly partisan political lens. The space that the union used to gauge the strength of its members' partisan leanings are (Are you sorta Republican, really Republican, or really, really Republican?) could just as easily been used to find out how worried their members are about losing their pensions in a state bankruptcy, or whether or not work rules negotiated by the union made prisons safer or a host of other questions having to do with what MCO members really want their union to do."

    Leave it to the smart guys to make my point.

    Essentially the question being asked by SEIU local 526M to its membership in a friendly letter today.

    The letter talks about the townhall meetings organized by the SEIU Corrections to "educate lawmakers" about what a tough job corrections workers have.  The lead-in is an innocent enough representative greeting by a union that has as its interest a defensive posture of correction worker jobs and the benefits therein.

    Then a little bit of intellectual waterboarding pops up. (click on the image to see the entire document)

    Would you please admit comrade, whether you are a traitor to the cause?  Please indicate (and circle) your level of treachery:

    • Horrific villain (high crimes against the cause)
    • Troublemaker and irritant
    • Confused worker bee with troubled leanings
    • Random Worker with no core beliefs
    • Confused worker bee with seeds of truth!
    • Dependable proletariat guard with vision
    • Loyalist defender of the movement!

    To answer or NOT to answer?  That is the question.

    Frankly put, public sector unions are a money laundering scheme that allows the Democrat Party and RINO GOP to help itself to our bank accounts.

    The effects evidenced in Michigan?

    An Update on the Senate Leadership thing..


    By JGillman, Section News
    Posted on Fri Oct 15, 2010 at 11:41:57 PM EST
    Tags: John Proos, Randy Richardville, Senate Leadership, Michigan, SEIU (all tags)

    I Have previously posted on the "Most Powerful man" and totally plagiarized Jack Hoogendyk's writing to set the tone for my opinion on who might best represent the Republicans and be the gatekeeper of legislation going forward in the Senate.

    I suggested John Proos would be best.  And even in the face of one of my "litmus" issues being challenged I hold to this. I may at some point elaborate.  Just know that the race is between Proos and Randy Richardville.

    Richardville though on the right side of my pet peeve (smoking bans in private business) is on the WRONG side of property interest in other areas.  

    Add to this, a 4th from the BOTTOM Score card from Common Sense in Government. Ow.

    But this gem from one of the most far left liberals (who BTW works in the legislative offices in Lansing) out there:

    I also got a response from SEIU political director Vaughn Thompson, who assured we that Nofs, as well as Sen. Randy Richardville, R-Monroe, are both "pro-worker." I about fell out of my chair when I heard that one. I don't yet know a whole lot about Nofs' record, but I'm familiar with the record of the man from my hometown of Monroe. He is anything but pro-worker, and I don't understand how he got that undeserved reputation.

    "We all know that Right to Work is wrong for Michigan and so does Mike Nofs and some others pro-worker Republicans like Randy Richardville," Thompson wrote.

    I don't often believe ol Kevin..  but since it seemed to offend him so much it might be worth considering as fact. SEIU has Richardville's back. Double Ow.

    you might want to call your senate hopefuls..  and at least TALK to them.  The decision who will be our gatekeeper is an important one.
