Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D) on May 24, 2007, to impose a new $1.35 monthly tax on each phone user in the state. The money would be used for various law enforcement-related functions, allowing other tax revenue to be spent on other things.
Referred to the House Appropriations Committee on May 24, 2007.
1) Send people home [by Anonymous Citizen on October 2, 2007] C'mon! You say "they should have notified the governor!" Didn't you see the blood sucking wench smiling with glee, like she usually is on the news when she was poised to take yet another stab at Michigan taxpayers and the remaining businesses of Michigan. UNLESS GRANHOLM IS SENT HOME SOON, Michigan may not be able to recover from her inept, incompetent, illogical mismanagement of this state's government. Reply
2) GRABYERMONEY GRANHOLM [by Anonymous Citizen on October 2, 2007] Hey here's an idea to start to save money in the Michigan budget. Howzabout getting rid of the Michigan taxpayer paid STAFF that her husband Dan Mulhern has, especially that $100,000 plus, administrative assistant (glorified secretary)! What kind of work does she do for that kind of money?
Nobody in this state voted for Mulhern and nobody in this state should have to pay for his perks! Reply
3) GRABYER$ GRANHOLM & DEMS [by Anonymous Citizen on October 2, 2007] Is anyone else as disgusted by GRABYER$ GRANHOLM and her crooked cronies as I am!!! She has no new ideas, no new plans, no new jobs (worst unemployment in nation)!!!
The only thing we got with her is NEW TAXES!!!!
I have no idea how she had the gall to run again after her last disasterous 4 years in office, let alone HOW DID SHE GET RE-ELECTED??? I know of no one who voted for her! There really should be an investigation into her election!!!
Anyone thinking of voting all the Dems into national office should be forced to live in Michigan for 6 months first to see what living with TAXATION TO THE MAXATION is really like, and GETTING VERY LITTLE IN RETURN FOR YOUR MONEY. Plus if the Dem voters were forced to move here, I would have someone to sell my beautiful home to, so I could move to a red state where they have something called JOBS!!! Yea thats right I like to work for my money, not be on the DEM govt. doleout program Michigan cities are known for. Meanwhile my neighbors and I are hanging on by a thread here in the burbs where every 3rd home is for sale or foreclosing, because our jobs have been downsized (or left town). If we are lucky enough to still have a job because of all the layoffs we work more hours yet make 1/2 the $ we made 5 years ago and we have less benefits (if any, but our kids can't be covered by MICHILD cuz we make "too much" eventhough we pay the taxes for it, though our house payment is the same for a devalued home and our bills and expenses are higher than ever since the DEMS have taken over in Michigan. Grabyer$ Granholm warned us herself in her campaign speech, "In the 5th year of her governing we would be BLOWN AWAY." Unfortunately about that, she was right. Michigan was and is the most beautiful state in the country. Its too bad its potential has been squandered by the bloodsuckers in Lansing, not to mention that lowlife Levin who has spent 19 years in the Senate, yet had no foresight at all about what was happening to the economy in his own state. Maybe he should spend less time running his big yap about Bush, and try earn his pay to do something to get jobs in MICHIGAN. He tries to blame it on Bush, but the fact is, the rest of the country is experiencing record low unemployment and it was Levin's buddy Bill Clinton who signed NAFTA into law (before Bush got there) that sent so many jobs out of Michigan. Next election: LETS KICK THE DEMS TO THE CURB, and let them experience some unemployment firsthand. Reply
