I read today that Governor Snyder is proposing a high-speed bus network for southeast Michigan. He’s going to another layer of government to the corrupt Charter County of Wayne, the paralyzed Detroit City Government and SEMCOG (also known as the solution waiting for a problem).
He’s not just poking around in southeast Michigan, however, his new plan , a new regional authority to oversee it. The State pushing its way into local politics.
The worst part is new vehicle registration fees allowing counties or regions to raise funds for local transit projects. ‘Allowing’ – he’s going to ‘allow’ you to pay higher fees so that your county or region is ‘allowed’ to raise funds for local transit projects.
I can understand town, village, city, county, state and I even willing to include ‘Charter Township’ when it is done for reasons other than greed – but what form of government does a ‘Region’ fit into?
As for the high speed busses – Governor Snyder recently endorsed Pete Hoekstra as Republican Candidate for United States Senator. He said Hoekstra is the ‘right man’ for the job.
Pete Hoekstra’s family business puts together, sells, leases and maintains busses all across the State of Michigan.
From Hoekstra Transportation’s website :
“Welcome MDOT Agencies and Local Units of Government. This site is your resource for all open Hoekstra bus contracts as well as a source for links to the documents and forms required in completing your bus purchases.”
When it gets this bad and obvious then what’s next?
