Snyder claims “success,” but for whom?

This afternoon, Governor Rick Snyder gave a keynote address at a policy conference on Mackinac Island.
He used some of his favorite platitudes, buzz words and campaign slogans, like “relentless positive action,” calling Michigan “the Comeback State” and talking about “reinventing Michigan.”
While Republican legislators and wealthy special interests applauded the Governor’s speech and the policies he highlighted, I have to ask you, who were the successes he touted really for?
Snyder said he got our economy back on track, but his policies have only helped those at the top while working families continue to struggle.
He succeeded in cutting business taxes by billions of dollars while drastically raising them on retired seniors and working families.
He claims he has increased money for schools while cutting public education billions of dollars—$470 per pupil—in his first year in office alone. And he and Republican legislators have continued to steal hundreds of millions of dollars from the School Aid Fund every budget year he’s been in office.
And Snyder says he wants to move all of Michigan forward while he and Republicans have passed socially conservative policies that unduly hurt women, low-income workers and the LGBT community.
These don’t sound like successes to me, and I’m sure they don’t to you, either. And it’s because Michigan Republicans consider these awful policies “successes” that they need to be defeated this fall.
Please consider making a contribution today to help us unseat these out-of-touch Republicans and start working toward real successes for the people of Michigan. Thanks for all you do,

 Senator Bert Johnson
