1) VIOLATES OUR CONSTITUTION  by Anonymous Citizen on December 19, 2006 
Our senators and representatives who voted for this violated our MI Constitution's Headlee Tax Limitation Amendment. They unlawfully took away our (the electors) right to vote on the legislation. Also --- what is included in the language is the possibility to put a tax on our property, because the language includes Ad valorem/Special Assessments.

Quit voting for the Republican's and Democrat's, because there is really not an iota of difference between them anymore. Start voting for the Libertarian Party, which wants to restore our Constitutional Limited Government!!!!!!!!

2) Healthcare for all:  by surely on December 18, 2006 
Has gone up and we all must pay for the increases. Why are the public servants so special that they should get off without making sacrifices also. So its OK for us to pay our increases and then we should all chip in and pay yours too? What nerve! Everyone wants these leadership positions but where are the leaders who are looking out for their publics interest? What they were hired to do? Do you have wisdom to help us to live a better life or is this about you?

Let the records show that woe will come on the lawmakers that put the burden on the people that they cannot bear it. We are there! You are accountable, probably more than you know. So unless you really have some leadership to bring to the table I wouldn't run for a office, as to whom much is given , much is required. God bless you to see the truth.
