Nolan Finley's bad roads this winter

RepubTeach................hmm..... let's think of what that means. Could mean that you are a republican teacher. That would say to me that you are a fiscal and moral conservative, valuing the concepts of living within your means and honoring life.

Could also mean that you fancy yourself as someone who teaches republicans, which therefore would imply that you disagree with republicans and know a better path and are brazen enough to take on the job of enlightening half the population.

I think the latter and would ask you these questions:

Do you think the solution to Michigan's woes is to raise the levy higher on individuals and businesses?

Has the state done anything whatsover to restructure government to the point of consolidation of school districts, departments, health insurance policies?

Are there any contracts that have been opened and brought in line with what the private sector has endured?

Don't you think that Gov Granholm and the pips (democratic legislature) are trying to punish the state and teach those recalcitrant (stubbornly disobedient) republicans a lesson by holding their nose in it?

Sometimes I think that those who fancy themselves as teachers are blinded by the wall of books they blockade themselves in.
