1. GOP in MI

I could believe this, being a life long Michigan native. I was told in the '90's to shut up about my political views MANY time, and when I only made a comment that I liked Bill Clinton, was told "I wouldn't say that very loud around here". People in this state who were as liberal as they come ran as republicans until the early to mid 80's. I ran a local campaign for one! NOBODY could win as a Democrat!
The gov. Snyder is a multi-millionaire heavily invested in fossil fuel who had all the dams in the state destroyed with the excuse that "it was cheaper than restoring them". Many of them were 150 yr old lakes, man made during the logging days, but lakefront property. They were left with a river 400 yds. from their house in the middle of mud and brush.
Republican is beginning to be a minority finally, but this governor has done mega-damage, would NOT doubt the allegations. They knew the pipes were old (very old), and nobody really knows why they were made to switch that I know of.
