Police in Michigan are asking the public for any information that could lead to the capture and arrest of ‘The Mad Hatters’ 😯
No, not us – a different lot !
These Mad Hatters are a bunch of old women with silly hats on their heads that have been terrorising the neighbourhood – snatching purses and wallets from unsuspecting shoppers then using the stolen credit cards to obtain money and goods by deception.
While media attention has been focussed on the popular uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrein, Yemen, and Libya, of people demanding greater control over their own lives and an end to autocratic rule by a few individuals, the Republicans in Michigan have moved in the opposite direction – stripping democratic governance from its citizens and imposing a dictatorship.
While Americans have been glued to their TV sets and computers watching the struggle for democracy abroad they appear to have been blind to what was happening in their midst
The Republican Governor of Michigan, Rick Snyder, has steered through a bill that allows him to dissolve the elected governments of Michigan’s towns and cities, and replacie them with his own nominees who will have the power to eliminate services, merge or eliminate school boards, and lay off or renegotiate unionized public employees without recourse. These ‘managers’ will not be accountable to the electorate but will answer only to the Governor, (and there will be no limit to the salary they may draw)
Hhmm, goodbye democracy in Michigan and hello to the patronage and graft (corruption) more normally seen in the likes of Iraq and Afghanistan
