Where have we seen an executive give himself the right to replace local elected officials at a whim? Oh right, Russia. Congratulations governor, now the hysterical left know exactly which ruthless dictator to compare you to in their diatribes, because you are incorporating his policies practically verbatim.

Fascism, alive and well in WI and MI.

How about changing this title to something like, "Maddow: Michigan Gov. has power to gift cities to corps". That's definitely the action point in this story.

Oh, and *lies for not being about the budget.

We have some crazy crap going on here in Utah. They just passed a bill (I shit you not) that makes it impossible for the average person to get any information on bills being proposed or being voted upon.

IT PASSED.

Gabrielle got shot by someone basically crazy and driven by a little hate from both sides. But, these "new-breed" congressmen and governors that are passing these type of laws will get shot not due to rhetoric or delusions, but their own actions.

I'm frankly unsure how I would feel if this happens due to wildly out-of-line laws.

The "emergency powers" law is terrible; did he get the idea from Star Wars? Does it have the title "Emperor" in there? Might as well add it... Are these guys doing this to FORCE a revolution; sometimes I think that's what the Tea Party members hiding behind the (R) want and are trying to cause.

...and I hate to think in a conspiracy inducing way...

So there is some impassioned shouting in the state capitol, but I want to know why we aren't seeing any stones being thrown. People need to take a hint from Greeks, Egyptians, Libyans, etc. and start resisting their oppressors. The states are effectively passing a new Enabling Act and, just like 1933, relatively little is being done to stop it.

Correct me if I'm wrong but aren't all towns incorporated anyway?

reformat and install linux. Also restrict sudo rights from the executive branch, and reinstate the proper checks and balances required to properly enforce RBAC.
