I also believe that any lawmaker and position within the government even beyond Michigan should be ineligible for office if they have any ties or interests in Military Defense or Energy.

It is about time that the State Legislators & all those is Lansing start to feel the big pinch they have put on the citizens of MI. Why haven't their benefits been cut, why haven't they lost their jobs, why are we, the MI taxpayers still paying for their state fueled & insured vehicles?
When somebody approaches you to sign the petition to cut back on the Lansing jobs, please take time to sign it. These people are only getting paid $1.50 per signature to get this on the ballot. Maybe we will see a Senator or Judge asking for help when they can't survive on $90.000 salary for 90 days of work.
Maybe when the State officers get pay cuts they think about passing extensions for all the unemployed in MI.

Lets add another reform ... all attorneys, barred or not, will be required as doctors, nurses, social workers, employment services, entertainers, dancers, building contractors and the like will have to be "licensed" not just have a bar card, but actually licensed! The will have to subscribe to a set of ethics, rules and regulations just like anybody else and most of all must devulge any and all financial assests, holdings, and their records will be subject to audit, like any accounting firm.

As it stands now, attorneys are above the law, and there is not, not in any way what so ever, "licensed" as many have claimed. They only posess a Bar Card. Allowing attorneys to continue to operate without any oversight by a regulatory agency as in other occupations will only allow the inequities to continue.

How about not shrinking the supreme court judges numbers (I don't see how losing two of them will pay for ten circuit judges), and nix the lobbiest. They are the ones that push the corporate agenda. They need to be kicked out of all areas of government. I also agree that we need less money for the law makers especially considering most don't even show up for voting. Not to mention this State has far more money then they admit. Research the Michigan Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and you will find that this state isn't as broke as they let on. They just don't want to sell of holdings in corporations and the like.
We need a whole sale change. We need law makers that respect the Constitution and will stand up against ushering us into world governments like the EU and the NAU that no one in the MSM wants to speak on.
