SNIPS from the Detroit
Free Press
Two years ago, a newly elected
Rick Snyder told the Free Press editorial board he was determined to be a new
kind of governor -- a pragmatist focused like a laser on initiatives that
promised to raise standards of living for all Michiganders.
And until last week, we believed
him.
Snyder's ostensible rationale for
embracing right-to-work legislation -- it was, he insisted, a matter of
preserving workers' freedom of association -- was equally dishonest.
It also yokes a governor who once
aspired to be seen as a new kind of Republican with the most ideological,
backward-looking elements of that party -- the very people whose exclusionary
vision of the country's future was rejected by voters in last month's election.
What reasonable person now
believes that Snyder has the will or the wherewithal to deliver Michigan, or even his
own party, from the failed politics of division?
Michigan voters who provided Snyder's margin
of victory in 2010 feel betrayed, and they have every justification.
It is worth your time!!!
