Is there a contest going on in Lansing to see how stupid we can make Michigan look to the rest of the world? Didn't we win last year? - and maybe it's time to let another state compete?
Today's winner is the decision to not allow legal foreign residents to get a driver's license. On one side you have Atty General Mike Cox, who is working hard to further his political career by being the most reactionary, hard-right conservative in the state. He passed a ruling saying no to foreigners getting licenses.
Secretary of State Terry Land stops issuing licenses and then Cox says he really didn't mean it that way. Land says hers legal staff says "no way", and that the legislature should take care of it.
That brilliant decision throws a political hot potato into a legislature that will now have to wade through the choice of making the obviously correct decision (grant the licenses) or pander to the anti-immigrant, there's a terrorist on every corner faction.
Meanwhile, foreign students, professionals, business people have to either drive illegally or starve, because you can't survive in this state without a car.
Give me a break.
