It's fall during an election year. What better time to hear from our state party chair, Mark Brewer?
Mark Brewer will join Livingston County Democrats (and anyone else who is interested) at a special event on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. at the Howell Opera House, 123 West Grand River, in downtown Howell.
Mark will discuss a proposed amendment to the Michigan Constitution that would save taxpayers $35 million a year that Republicans are trying desperately to stop. The Reform Michigan Government Now proposal would roll back salaries of lawmakers and top elected officials, cut the number of state lawmakers, reduce the number of state agencies allowed, and reduce the number of judges on the Michigan Supreme Court and Michigan Court of Appeals. It would also slow the revolving door between government and lobbying, and include a number of other ethics reforms.
The measure enjoys more than 70 percent approval in the polls -- with approval among Republican voters even higher at 73 percent. It is everything Republicans are supposed to be for -- less spending, smaller government -- but so far Republican judges are blocking it.
Wouldn't you like to know why? Let Mark Brewer tell you.
Mark will also have plenty to say about the importance of all the races this fall.
The evening will include an appetizer and dessert buffet for a suggested donation of $15 a person.
Be there, or be uninformed!
