Michissippi

Here is the real 51st state.
Most Michiganders live in Michigan.
However, more than a million of us, including Detroiters, live in Michissippi.
The state has powers worse than those we complain about as imposed by the federal government.
Here in Detroit, the state put our elected mayor on trial...over and over again.
They finally got him, so that he was found guilty and sent to prison..
Then, they put one of our most loyal city council members in prison.
The person they tried to install in her place didn't have clean enough hands for that to work, thank
heavens.
We elected a new Mayor.
They dismissed him, putting someone of their own choosing in his place.
Meantime, they changed Michigan to a 'right to work' without unions state.
We got it on the ballot, voted it down, and they did it again. We have a 'right to work' without
proper work representation...again.
Walter Reuther is in heaven wondering how this could happen to us.
This state declared our city bankrupt, and is in court at this moment, attempting to take contracted
pensions from our retired.
They are attempting to force all our children into 'charter' schools.
Last night, during yet another city election, the state claimed someone called Mike Duggan won the
election fair and square.
That didn't happen. Detroit has two mayors.  One Mayor is in prison. The other lives here as a private
citizen.
We need them back. However...
I here Burkina Faso is lovely this time of year.
