At Least With Jenny, We Knew Exactly What We're Getting

Yessiree, the dividends keep rolling in from that November 2010 Republican landslide.

Despite headlines, the 2012 Michigan budget signed into law on June 22 actually hikes state spending by $758 million. In addition, a Senate Fiscal Agency analysis released last week understated this increase by leaving out so-called "one time" spending items (for example, $25 million for film subsidies, a figure that some lawmakers are already trying to increase).

Read the rest here.

Neo-corporatism is alive and well within both Tripartism Party's in this state.

..."I told you so," just doesn't seem to cut it.

Oh, most of us knew what we were getting.

It's just that too many people of those same people were enamored with a party label.

What could we have expected? (none / 0) (#4)

You did notice the chat about spending all of the "stimulus" in her term so the budget could stay balanced, right?

It had to follow, that nothing short of hard cuts would still require Michigan's treasury to raise more revenue in-state. We knew those cuts were not going to happen right off.

Personally, I would prefer the cuts, the reigning in of work rules that promote inefficiency in government, but those fights are in Lansing, not TC, and the governor has to make that call. He may still.

In the mean time, start looking for someone as a primary candidate to drive the point home that he should.

The 'Porkulus' money is dually noted (none / 0) (#5)

As are the names in BOLD of the current class of MI-GOPMDP that enabled this particular $47.9 million of Porkulus spending in 2010. Thanks, then Sen. Ron Jelinek (R)!!!

Gotta love this quote:

More familiarly known as the "Federal Stimulus Bill," this measure was supported by the President and most Democrats in Congress, and was opposed by every single Republican in the U.S. House and all but three Republican U.S. Senators.

Then comes along the MI-GOPMDP to belly up to the trough like good little elected class Republicrats...
