Michigan's Governor Rick Snyder is taking donations to travel around the U.S. to try to sell himself as the NEW comeback kid. I am sure the donations will be used for airfare/lodging and meals only, and will have the same amount of accountability as his after election "Nerd Fund" had. $1.6 million in the "Nerd Fund" and nobody knows what it was used for. Snyder is like Dick Cheney, a 4th branch of Government. Can You Say Bribe.. I knew You could.
There is NO question Michigan was on the ropes prior to his election. Snyder did not oppose the auto bailout, but also worked hard to weaken the UAW, making the state that helped launch labor rights a right to work for less state. He has also work to lessen the funds local govs get back from the state.
Snyder seems to be able to miss the glare of Walker/Scott/Christie, but let me tell you as a Michigan resident he is as much a follower of the ALEC agenda as the other 3 are.
