State employees have been told by Gov Gretchen Whitmer’s admin to show up for work tomorrow because there will be a budget deal or a short-term extension of the current budget, UAW Local 6000 president tells MI Public Radio. Local 6000 is one of the largest state employee unions.
Lansing rn: Basically it's like 'hey we can have a partial government shutdown' OR 'we can pass a budget before 12:01a.' And, instead, someone else IN POWER was like: BUT WHAT IF THERE IS A THIRD WAY WE'VE NEVER TRIED BEFORE.
@rickpluta finished a *very* interesting conversation with former MI Gov @SecGranholm... her thoughts on stalled budget negotations in Lansing + @mikeeduggan independent run for governor. Posting shortly...
@ZoeMichigan called it. US Rep Bill Huizenga (R-Zeeland) not running for US Senate, creating a clearer path for former US Rep Mike Rogers to be the GOP nominee.
@nickrmanes When my son was a toddler, he once dropped a piece of food on the floor from his high chair and said, "oh fub." Everyone in the room turned their head to me.
Since everyone's getting worked up by the f-bomb, l'd like the record to reflect that I was once double mother-f***ered by Detroit Mayor Coleman Young.
@rickpluta and I have been talking about this since Tate announced he's not running for Mayor. How much *actual* money are Ds willing to spend on an already safe-D seat in a year when there's OPEN Gov, Senate, AG, SOS races PLUS toss up/swing U.S. House seats + entire state House and Senate.
GOP Rep. Jim DeSana on today's It's Just Politics: “The reason Michigan is so corrupt... is because we are a full-time legislature.” https://t.co/voP9hRp9LH
