Poof!  Gone.

Livonia-based Awrey Bakeries has filed a federally required notice to the state confirming it plans to shutter its facility and lay off 203 employees in 60 days.
...

The company has 157 union employees and 46 non-union workers, according to the notice signed by CEO Bob Wallace, and will "fully and permanently close" during a 14-day period between Jan. 27 and Feb. 9.

Hmmm, a perfect opportunity for Trumka's AFL-CIO, Hoffa's IBT, and King's UAW, to pool their collective goonion dues shakedown monies, and put it where their mouth is with buying Awrey's.

LANSING, Mich. - Secretary of State Ruth Johnson reminds residents that all SUPER!Centers as well as select PLUS and traditional offices will remain open on Election Day for customers who must conduct urgent business on that day.

Most state government offices will be closed on Tuesday, Nov. 6, because of a 2004 agreement with labor unions made by the administration of then Gov. Jennifer Granholm that makes Election Day a state employee holiday. However, Johnson is keeping several offices open with minimal staffing.

These overcompensated slugs need a whole paid day off to vote Democrat?  WTF?

The Michigan Republican Party on Tuesday pulled a cable TV ad that bashes Detroit while touting Oakland County's GOP.

County Executive L. Brooks Patterson saw the 34-second ad and asked state GOP Chairman Bobby Schostak on Tuesday to pull it, saying it was unnecessarily negative.

Patterson, who is undergoing rehabilitation for injuries suffered in a car crash, received a resounding no, spokesman Bill Mullan said.

"I've always run political campaigns built on positive messages. My campaign has asked the independent entity that produced this ad to take it down, but they've refused," Patterson said in a statement on Tuesday. "Detroit has its challenges. But my administration has always tried to be part of the solution."

And, folks still try to tell me that there is a Two Party system.  Again .. Shut up, Brooks.  Your 73-year-old duplicitous tongue needs to head out to pasture, and tell tales of how you remember your legend to your grandchildren.  Everything has a built in obsolescence, Brooks - you, like this dangerous fossil, have finally met yours.

Huawei, a global Chinese telecommunications equipment manufacturer already doing limited business in the U.S., poses a threat to national and corporate security say members of the U.S. House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. Those congressmen speak to Steve Kroft for a 60 Minutes investigation to be broadcast Sunday, Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. ET and 7:00 p.m. PT.

The world's largest maker of telecommunications equipment has been under investigation for the past year by the committee, which will issue its report on the Chinese company on Monday. The committee's chair, Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), tells Kroft, "If I were an American company today...and you are looking at Huawei, I would find another vendor if you care about your intellectual property, if you care about your consumers' privacy, and you care about the national security of the United States of America."

No kidding, Mike.  Good thing the Canadians had Snyder file a Buy American waiver on their DRIC, too.

Conservative principles crumbling under pressure?  Potentially, just a heartbeat away.

Oy!  Pete and John, wise up .. ditch the I ♥ Nerd schtick.  A lone 2010 primary 36% win infiltrated by Schwarz Democrats does not necessarily make one a Senator in 2012.

A bill recently signed into law by Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett - Act No. 127 (formerly Senate Bill 637), The Public Works Employment Verification Act - requires all public works contractors and subcontractors with the state to enroll in and use the federal E-Verify electronic employment eligibility verification system to verify the legal work authorization status of newly hired employees in the United States.  The text of the new legislation, which will take effect January 1, 2013, is available here: The Public Works Employment Verification Act.

Imagine that, a swing state protecting its jobs from going to illegals?  Yes, the list grows without Michigan.  Voters in the State House 104 must be happy with their current Corporate Welfare, and illegal alien lovin' Pale Pastel sent to Lansing.  Hey! It's their guy that is responsible for obstructing HB 4024 and HB 4026 for us.  Let's see if that part of the state is dumb enough to send him back to Lansing this fall.  I'll avoid and encourage others to avoid anything that is TC like it's the plague for siding with The Left and illegals over Americans.  Guaranteed.

Raw footage here.

Sure sounds exactly like a Canadian owned US taxpayer funded DRIC "payday", ToughNerd.  Ya, zero Michigan tax dollars are involved too.  LOL  What a $42M joke so far.  And, "Free money," ToughNerd?  That sounds just like these Progressive folks.
