The Rumors Are True!

More truth came out recently about the Reform Michigan Government Now (RMGN) proposal. The Mackinaw Center discovered a PowerPoint presentation on the United Auto Workers (UAW) website.

The presentation confirms what we knew all along. The proposal is a sham designed to help democrats. It uses a few popular proposals to shield its true purpose.

The democrats did a bunch a research to confirm what should have been clear from the beginning.

The proposal has a massive budget. The revelation of the PowerPoint rockets the UAW to the top of the list of suspected financial backers.

RMGN is unlikely to make the ballot. It isn't yet known whether it got enough signatures. The ballot language contains serious flaws like referencing a provision of the constitution that doesn't exist and being impossible to summarize in 100 words. The Chamber of Commerce is filing suit against it.

Meanwhile, RMGN spokesliar Diane Byrum just keeps doing her thing. She claims that voters show massive support for the proposal in a new poll.

Really? So after having all 18 pages read to them, voters love RMGN? I don't think so. Peter Luke managed to write an entire column about the poll without ever asking the obvious question: How was the question worded?

Chances are, it was something like: Do you want to reform Michigan government?

One way or another, RMGN is going down. Let's all take some time to savor its demise.
