Michigan Has Surplus Cash

Preliminary figures show the state of Michigan ended the 2012 fiscal year with fund balances of more than $1.2 billion, including a $1 billion surplus in the state’s general fund, according to a Senate Fiscal Agency report Thursday.

Say what you want about the current state government, but under past Governor Granholm, this never happened – much like the present federal government.  Heck, our national leaders don’t even have a budget and haven’t for four years.  At least that way, they can’t go over budget.  What a concept!  Genius they are.

The NRA Speaks for Change

The National Rifle Association’s 4 million mothers, fathers, sons and  daughters join the nation in horror, outrage, grief and earnest prayer for the  families of Newtown, Connecticut … who suffered such incomprehensible loss as a  result of this unspeakable crime.

Out of respect for those grieving families, and until the facts are known,  the NRA has refrained from comment. While some have tried to exploit tragedy for  political gain, we have remained respectfully silent.

Now, we must speak … for the safety of our nation’s children.   Here is the plan in their own words:  http://nranews.com/pressconferencereplay.html Read more

Associated Press Clouds the Gun Debate with Its Ignorance

By Glen Wunderlich

There are so many opinions about “doing something” about guns, I’ve purposely avoided comment to date.  But, after reading an AP piece, it’s easy to see why people become confused.

It begins by stating that the previous “assault weapons” ban was considered imperfect by many.  Then it starts the misinformation indicating that if the ban had been in place during the Sandy Hook killings, it would have been illegal for the gunman to use the 30-round magazines…
