1) Re: 2009 House Bill 5593 (Increase licensure fees on nurses ) by GENEMP on December 21, 2009Let's license Politicians. Application fee $200.00, Background check with FBI, CIA, fingerprinting ($14.00). Continuing Education requirements. A really nice, stiff annual fee. All fees paid personally and not out of a campaign fund. You need a license to sell potatoes in Michigan, but not to be a Politician.
If they really wanted to increase jobs in Michigan, they would get rid administrative burden. How about a easy tax law? Why give tax credits if the tax law made sense in the first place. (Now I'm just rambling)
Last one out of Michigan, turn out the light.
Lets not increase the fees for those that are working and keeping people healthy. The medical fields are so short of personnel and now you are trying to fix the budgets on the backs of those that are working. Get real and stop with the stealing and fix your budgets!
No, no and no!!!! Take your fee and tax increases to the netherland and start putting the corporate state on a budget!
