Way to go Republicans 100% yes votes. Well there goes 21 more jobs at an average wage of $39,000 per year that’s a whopping $245,700 a year in lost payroll taxes and 573,300 that will not be put back into the economy. This is just a small part of the big picture, price increases from the companies that will have to pay these extra fees and the companies that will not be able to buy their products because of the increased prices. Guess what more lost jobs!! This is just not right!  

 

As a voting republican I can’t believe what you are all doing to this economy things like this are not helping. We all voted for change not this nonsense. You all just don’t get it!!! Do the right thing and do what we put you all there to do:

 

NO TAX INCREASES, LESS SPENDING, LESS WASTE, LESS REGULATIONS

 

JUST REMEMBER WE GET A VOTE TO!!!  

 

Way to go Republicans ? Your suppose to be for business yeh right , Right to Work  passage would eliminate more pollution of any kind and would produce more jobs, Oh forgive me and more revenue than all the fines,fees, and coercions on businesses, which we all pay more for products. " Extract " ( to obtain from someone in the face of initial unwillingness ). What air pollution ? there isn't enough going on that you have to jack up the price on what you might still be able to find get real. No wonder the Democrats didn't vote for this you stole their modus operindi . 

So this goes hand in hand with everyone patting everyone on the back up on Mackinaw Island how great 

we've done, Bullshit we elected you and this isn't what we voted for because reading how great your choosing Romney whoops (Mitt) isn't what I'm going for thats a friend of the Tea Party ideas, a strict Constitutional Conservetive.

I'll Concur to All who deride you for this stupidity.

Guess the Republicans have a task ahead of them trying to explain this to their less informed minions.

I do hope that this bill gets passed. It doesn't matter the political color, we all need to understand that pollution is a major problem and it affects us all. I think we all need some regulations to enable easier access to smog test the heavy polluters in our industries. We need to do better!
