I would hope that responding to citizens’ inquiries would be one function Lt. Governor Cherry could address with his Commission on State government. His staff has never seen fit to respond to any of my multiple calls to his offices to learn his position on various issues. Is this an indication of what mere citizens could expect if he were elected Governor? I seriously doubt labor union leaders are ignored by he and his staff.
As for Cherry Commissions and Dillon “far-reaching” ballot proposals, why is there no mention by these and other “leaders” of the upcoming vote in November, 2010 on if Michigan should convene a State Constitutional Convention? It is already on the statewide ballot thanks to our State Constitution. We have the opportunity to elect 148 Convention delegates who will review the Constitution and recommend amendments to the general public. Why do elected officials presume that only they are capable of performing that function? Are there not tens of thousands (or more) of highly qualified people in this State who would welcome the opportunity to assist in an effort to revitalize Michigan? A State Constitutional Convention would provide them that chance. Vote YES for Michigan in November, 2010.
