343 Days until Election Day

MORNING UPDATE:

More Games….House Democrats passed a “take it or leave” it repeal/replacement of the sales tax on services and then adjourned…while the Democrat Chair of the House Tax Committee , Rep. Bieda said they were still negotiating.

Speaker Andy Dillon and the House Democrats continue to act irresponsibly…passing the largest tax hike in Michigan’s history…jamming through a disastrous sales tax on services and then once again trying to blackmail fiscally conservative legislators into more revenues….

NO reforms.

NO cuts.

NO grip on reality…just more taxes and wasteful spending from the Democrats.

Michigan…are you listening? Are we paying attention? This is an embarrassment!

January 15th primary is a GO! Period. Both parties have voted to participate and use the 15th as their primary for the purpose of ultimately electing delegates to the national convention.

Michigan will follow Iowa and New Hampshire and is truly a bellweather state…if you can win in Michigan, you can win anywhere…if you boycott Michigan…voters will remember.

The Democrats will be on the ballot…Hillary Clinton leading the pack…but John Edwards and Barack Obama gave into a blackmail effort by NH and IA Democrats….and I hope Michigan Democrats and voters in general remember that. They are running for President of the United States, which includes Michigan, not just Iowa and New Hampshire.

There was an effort to put all the Democrats on the ballot, but gamesmanship on the part of the Democrats, particularly Senator Schauer and Speaker Dillon killed their chance as they ran out of time. They have no one to blame but themselves.

YouTube debate tonight showed why Republicans are ready to lead America. A great debate with some great moments. There is no question any Republican would be better than anything Hillary Clinton has to offer.

THE REST OF THE STORY:

- House Republican Leader Craig DeRoche today issued the following statement strongly criticizing the House Democrat plan to eliminate the service tax:

“Tonight we’ve seen yet another half-baked tax increase passed late at night with no public input that will hurt the economy. How many times are the Democrats going to play with Michigan jobs like this?

This isn’t a game of chicken – the economy will greatly suffer under this plan. Trading one bad plan for the next is not governing. When 97 percent of businesses in the state think the Legislature is failing, something is obviously wrong.

This mess was created by the Democrats, who just dug the hole deeper. The manner in which it passed the House shows either their intent to have the service tax take effect or their lack of knowledge in House procedure.

This is a disrespectful display of politicking at the expense of Michigan businesses and taxpayers. Governing does not happen by refusing to compromise or ignoring reality.”
