Rick Jones is at it again. Somebody needs to put his computer in a lock box
Unbelievably, I received this Facebook e-mail message from the Senator
Evidently Rick Jones has never heard of a "Screenshot. A larger version is HERE

Evidently some of Sen. Rick Jones (24th District) constituents were not happy with his yes vote or his comment on the Senate floor that I shared with you in the last Newsletter and post HERE "He had to "plug his nose and vote for the bill"
How do I know that? Because I received an angry e-mail from Senator Jones. His e-mail is interesting in that it provides a window into some of the dealing going on under the Capitol Dome

So let's address his assertions, shall we?

First of all "You are spreading lies.  You do not understand why we had to do what we did."

Representative Rick Jones (R-Grand Ledge) spoke in support of the bill and in his actual floor speech said:

"If cities are losing these awards they need to hire better city managers."

I have written on PA312 before.

Might there be a solution?  Given that the law states unfunded mandates to municipalities are NOT supposed to happen, (A current lawsuit by Charlevoix commissioners is now ongoing) This may well set up the state for a bigger fall than it has been headed for already.  

Better Managers? or perhaps better legislators..

Rick Jones is running against Randy Brink in the 24TH DISTRICT STATE SENATE primary.
