Tag: corporate welfare (page 2)By Corinthian Scales, Section News
The Ilitch family knows how to send some lobbyists to Lansing to come home with their bacon.
In the same week that Detroit announced its bankruptcy, a state board unanimously approved plans for a new hockey arena for the Red Wings -- a decision that has raised a few eyebrows among critics. Because bankruptcy was avoided in Detoilet by taxpayer subsidized Comerica Park, and Ford Field. Yessirree. Southeast Michigan, and Lansing Nerdpublicans sure do have their priorities in order. This all reminds me of the expression, like putting a diamond on a goat's ass. (4 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood met with Gov. Rick Snyder and the state Senate Republican leader Tuesday on the long-stalled regional transit authority. Speaker Bolger, here's a chance to redeem yourself with stopping this wasteful progressive agenda by a No Go in the House on Gov JenniRick Snydholms' utopian Regional Transit Authority.
Though, good for graft. (11 comments) Comments >> By Corinthian Scales, Section News

The U.S. Transportation Department today will launch a 3,000-vehicle test of "smart car" technology in Ann Arbor. Truly amazing what amount of privacy Americans willingly hand over to corporations in partnership with government, and all is sold to the gullible thralls under the guise of safety.

Half-baked L. Brooks Patterson just can't stop himself from placing his ham-handed electioneering fingers into any CD-11 event that should be decided by voters.
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson is renewing his call for Republicans and Democrats to narrow their selection to one candidate to avoid the cost of a special primary election to fill the term of former U.S. Rep. Thaddeus McCotter. Um, Brooks .. there is only one Democrat from Local 245 in the special election. AND there was only one Republican that filed well in advance too, well, until the cabals write-in candidate and her endorsing former state legislator and current Livonia council president, undoubtedly squeezed that Livonia civics grapevine enlisting at least two other filers covering for write-in Nansee Crassis.
Patterson said Tuesday that both major political parties should hold a lottery to pick one Republican and one Democrat in order to avoid a special primary election Sept. 5. Fiscal responsibility? Really? Sorry bub, you tossed that meme out the window with pushing the DIA tax hike. But, OK, Brooksie, have your handpicked crony, MBT author and Corporate welfare write-in candidate drop out first. Deal? By Corinthian Scales, Section News
You read that right. After the signature gathering primary election fact, smear merchant write-in Nancy voted for expanding Crony Capitalism that continues to spell doom in Pontiac, and Corporate welfare in Detroit. Her vote. Sure, ringleader L. Brooks Patterson is able to appear as the mack daddy of SE Michigan, if, or the reality is, when Oakland County is able to keep them taxpayer subsidized, write-in Nancy approved pie plates spinning in the air. All it takes is for folk like them, is to reach into Joe Taxpayer's pocket to do it, and now, L. Brooks Patterson is pushing the DIA tax hike too.
"Taxes go to projects that are worthy, whether we use them or not," Patterson said, noting that when he travels around the world to recruit business, he is always asked about schools, neighborhoods and cultural amenities. "The DIA is a huge opportunity for me to answer that question in a positive way. It's an economic development tool for me." Or not? Holy bejesus! Why don't you have another cocktail, Brooksie? You too, Nolan. Now, the truth below. (4 comments, 540 words in story) Full Story By Corinthian Scales, Section News

A bill recently signed into law by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett - Act No. 127 (formerly Senate Bill 637), The Public Works Employment Verification Act - requires all public works contractors and subcontractors with the state to enroll in and use the federal E-Verify electronic employment eligibility verification system to verify the legal work authorization status of newly hired employees in the United States. The text of the new legislation, which will take effect January 1, 2013, is available here: The Public Works Employment Verification Act. Imagine that, a swing state protecting its jobs from going to illegals? Yes, the list grows without Michigan. Voters in the State House 104 must be happy with their current Corporate Welfare, and illegal alien lovin' Pale Pastel sent to Lansing. Hey! It's their guy that is responsible for obstructing HB 4024 and HB 4026 for us. Let's see if that part of the state is dumb enough to send him back to Lansing this fall. I'll avoid and encourage others to avoid anything that is TC like it's the plague for siding with The Left and illegals over Americans. Guaranteed. Congratulations, Governor Corbett! Rick Michigan? Well, thanks for being the Snydholm that you promised to be for Michigan. Can't wait for the next election to happen to you. By Corinthian Scales, Section News
Real world language involved heads up for the Piously Correct GOP viewer.
Sure sounds exactly like a Canadian owned US taxpayer funded DRIC "payday", ToughNerd. Ya, zero Michigan tax dollars are involved too. LOL What a $42M joke so far. And, "Free money," ToughNerd? That sounds just like these Progressive folks. Figures don't lie, but liars sure do figure. By Corinthian Scales, Section News
