MORNING UPDATE:

Ecclesiastes 10:2 "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left".

Judge rules that keeping voter “party id” list confidential is unconstitutional…an appeal is expected…primary should go on as planned. We are working on a bipartisan legislative solution to keep the primary on track; it looks like just about everyone is on board.

Senate Republicans lead by Senator Nancy Cassis passed a repeal of the sales tax on services out of the Senate ….on a straight party vote…all Republicans voting YES.

Democrats continue to demand “revenue neutral” tax increases…NO reforms, NO budget savings?

Watch for House Democrats to push another tax increase to replace the sales tax on services. Remember, businesses don’t pay taxes…we, the consumers do!

More victories reported statewide…in Oakland county republicans won many municipal elections, with a few surprise losses. In Genesee County we won a Mayoral race along with winning City Council and School Board seats! Eaton County GOP picks up Grand Ledge Mayor’s seat. Granholm and taxes played a role in the races! Along with recalls…
