Thank you, Kurt for backstabbing the middle class with your union busting legislation. And thanks for including a tiny appropriation to make sure that the voters never get a chance to vote on it. It is obvious that you respect democracy with the lack of public comment, late night lame duck shenanigans and divisively excluding police and firefighters.

To Mr. Kurt Heise: I see you sponsored this bill. Some think that its language is leaning toward the "vaginal probe" ultrasound that rose such a stink in Virginia, if you will remember. What does this have to do with the economy and JOBS? Are you really in need of money so badly that you are bought out by Betsy DeVos and her husband? I thought we were concerned about losing our well educated young people to other states. When was the last time you heard of someone moving because Michigan's abortion laws weren't strict enough?

Heise also voted for the tax on pensions, which Engler passed to keep retirees here. I'm looking forward to moving to a no pension tax state when my wife retires.
