3. We're next
Walker's working on that now.

I'm sorry I can't come up there and help throw fits in Michigan with you. What they're doing is unbelievable.

4. Kasich in Ohio .-----The only time I heard of something like
this was when NY had that Financial Meltdown
and when Felix Roytan (sp) was appointed to
bring NY back he was granted some special
privileges. That was a special case and Roytan
had been given those powers.

This business with Governors sounds like a power
grab and definite political overreach.

As I say we are not going to recognize this country
in a couple of years if some real democrats (small
d) do not assert themselves and say --wait just a
minute here, folks.

6. Federal law supercedes state law, state law supercedes municipal law.
I suppose there are some constitutional considerations at the state level.

It will be for the MI supreme court to decide in the end.
