Headline in the online Oakland Press: TOWN HALL at 4 p.m. to discuss Rick Snyder's proposed budget
The speakers will be Rep. Melton and Rep. Moss. I hope that Rep. Moss remembers a few things from years past.
In 2007 I was considering a run for State office. I met with Rep. Moss and members of the Republican Party. Obviously, running without party support is not a great idea if you want to win.
So, off to Lansing I went. We spent a good 45 minutes to an hour discussing my pro-choice stance. It did not play with the men. Then we moved on to gun control. I told them if they kept their hands off my uterus, I would keep my hands off their guns. Did not go over well, to say the least.
Anyway, those issues were incidental to my being asked if I would have supported Governor Granholm's tax increases. I said that I thought the income tax should have stayed at the higher levels instead of rolling it back and that I favored a state tax on services. BZZZT. Buzzer alert. WRONG answer.
See my name on a ballot in 2008? Of course not. I hope that the Republican Party and Rep. Moss remember all of that when they start looking at taxing seniors' pensions. This is OK how in relation to a service tax? Or any other for that matter.
What ever happened to the mantra of Governor Engler: Promises Made, Promises Kept.
