Of course, if this were really about good public policy and not scoring political points, this letter wouldn't be necessary. When Michigan taxpayers pay millions in legal fees to the plaintiffs' attorneys when the state loses the law suit that will no doubt be filed in the next several weeks, I wonder if the politics will seem so smart.

This letter is ancient history. It was sent on December 28th. Obviously it had no effect. Both the Secretary of State and the Attorney General are elected officials. So it appears that we cannot go to the Governor and ask her to overrule them. People need to prepare for legal actions.

I am happy to hear this, at least this new legislation would be in limbo
