#1 Self inflicted wound. How's Soviet central planning working for you all? BTW, what part of the government workforce was furloughed as non-essential during this period? Just discover the tax base was essential to fund all those government workers?

#4 One of Gretchen's campaign themes was "Fix the Damn Roads". Her initial plan to raise the gas tax by 45 cents per gallon was not well received by the Legislature. Or anyone else.

#6 I wonder how much Michigan residents already pay in taxes for the roads. I also wonder what's Michigan's past in raising taxes to "fix the roads".

This broad is absolutely out of her mind.

#8 Yeah, the stupid broads bankrupts the state, funds stupid pet projects while the roads continue to deteriorate, acts like a petty fascist, threatens her political opponents, and then has the nerve to demand subsidies. Screw her.
