Michigan Republican Governor Rick Snyder’s new Emergency Financial Manager or Management (EFM) Law and massive cuts to education and services to the poor to fund an 86% business tax cut are getting more and more national attention.
Andy Kroll on the Ed Schultz Show, March 24, 2011:
This mess in Michigan and Wisconsin is just the tip of the iceberg of what is happening across the Country in a nationally coordinated effort to put in place dozens (if not hundreds) of bills and laws written by corporate interests (using ALEC) to close the door on not just labor, but completely takeover how America's laws at the State level, systematically state-by-state, are created and introduced.
In Michigan we had 39 bills, then 46 bills, now over 50+ bills in the system. Ask yourself: Where did all this come from?
UPDATE: WI Prof asked to hand over email by GOP immediately following blog on ALEC - Story going viral.
