- Governor Rick Snyder ignored the people of Michigan in creating the Right to Work Law.
- Governor Rick Snyder created the Emergency Manager Law PA 436, under which Mayor Mike Duggan says an Emergency Manager lied to him about $500,000,000 in pension shortfalls.
- Michigan's elected officials are already among the most highly compensated in the nation.
