DISQUS

The Michigan Messenger: Lawmakers work into the weekend, then ring the bell for summer recess

    Completely irresponsible We saw how cooperative and collaborative the house and senate were last year, when they weren't under the pressure of an election season.  How are we supposed to reasonably expect them to be grown-up and mature when they come back from break and amicably resolve the dispute over school funding?


    How do I explain this to my kids, that grown-ups can walk away from their chores like this without a by-your-leave and leave kids like them hanging, because they can't figure out how to get to yes?  What kind of example is this, especially for kids who are already struggling mightily?


    Thanks for covering this, Jim, even if it sets my blood pressure boiling.  Confirms for me that we need to clean out the legislature until we get grownups in office.
