Re: MI just beat out WI for Kochsuckery
In fairness, that ballot initiative really was horribly worded and confusing. I still don't understand exactly what they were planning to do with the gas tax. Something about removing the tax at the pump and having it paid by the gas stations. Didn't make any sense to me.
I'm pretty sure the plan to dissolve the Detroit School District and create a new one is designed to void union contracts. Don't be fooled, much of what is going on with emergency managers and the like is union busting in disguise.
