Elections matter here in Michigan…

Well…this is what happens when you put dems in control of the entire state of Michigan for the first time in decades…just yesterday the House voted to expand the Elliot-Larsen Civil Rights Act to cover sexual orientation and gender identity…also Wednesday, the house labor committee advanced bills to repeal the “right to work” that the repubs passed to attack unions and working people in this state…and Tuesday, Governor Whitmer signed a bill that extended the Earned Income Tax Credit which will put more money in the hands of the working poor…another program that the repubs slashed when they controlled the state…and now the dems are moving onto the popular gun control measures like background checks, red flag laws, and a safe storage law that ensures that people will have to keep their guns locked up when not in use. None of this would have happened if the repubs conrolled any part of the government here…and it all goes back the voters taking the drawing of districts out of the hands of politicians so the repubs couldn’t gerrymander the state and cheat in elections…there is real progress going on here in Michigan…and we all have the dems to thank for it….
