The revolt against authoritarian Republican "Daddy States" continues, as a Michigan election panel gave preliminary approval for a recall effort to proceed against Governor Rick Snyder.
According to the Detroit Free Press the main group behind the initiative, Michigan Citizens United, "would need the signatures of 807,000 registered voters collected within a 90-day period to force an election."
Snyder is being targeted by Michigan residents dissatisfied with several of his actions since assuming office. These include the passing of an "emergency fiscal manager" bill that gives the governor enhanced powers to dissolve local governments, contracts with public employees, and privatize public services from the local to state level.
