Snyder's so called "tough choices" (raising taxes on pensioners, eliminating tax benefits for lower and middle class families, and various cuts to schools) are simply GOP party line stuff. More over mysteriously his cousin George seems to be making money from government contracts. Oh and Michigan still owes Detroit 220M dollars last I heard. He also voted in the Public Employee Domestic Partner Benefit Restriction Act until a federal judge told him "no you aren't allowed to do that".

I am sorry if this seems cynical, but I don't buy the tough nerd stuff, it seems like the toughest decisions are never from the left side of things and always from the right.

Hey you know what would have been a tough nerd decision? Allowing Tesla to direct sell in Michigan. I guess we just don't need the jobs.
