Read it and Weep

From the cyber poll, the Dodger sees little to cheer about. There's a 68% right wing majority for issues they couldn't get from a decade of John Engler and republican legislature.

These demographics are confounded with higher economic status, but probably act independently.

Put it to a vote?


Michigan citizens and special interest groups, weary of seeing their top issues sidetracked [sic] in the state capital, are increasingly willing to submit their pet concerns directly to voters, resulting in a crowded ballot. Which issue would you most like to see on the ballot next year?

Raising the minimum wage 9.04%
An abortion ban 6.59%
A ban on dove hunting 1.16%

Strengthening private property rights 11.24%
Safeguarding state conservation and environmental funds 3.49%
