1) concerned citizen by Anonymous Citizen on February 28, 2005This is one of the stupidest ideas I have ever seen. This Representative makes one good case for a part-time legislature.
MILK the official drink of Michigan? What kind of goody two-shoes la-la land do these legislators live in? Tell that to the U.P. snowmobilers cruising from bar to bar on sub-zero nights. Tell it to the generations of blue collar autoworkers stopping off for a cold one after their shift. Tell it to Oakland County's brie-and-Chablis set. Too bad Stroh's is gone. Not that the state has any business declaring an "official drink" anyway (what would be the penalty for violations? forced to drink milk?), but that would make the task of selecting a "state beverage" easy!
The audacity of the legislature to even submit this bill to a committee! Those who are allergic and/or opposed to milk and its by-products would be forced to accept this deplorable white substance as the official drink? Preposterous, I tell you. Absolutely preposterous.
