CONSTITUTION OF MICHIGAN OF 1963 (click here)
§ 1 Political power.
Sec. 1.
All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their equal benefit, security and protection.
Please don't forget who is boss.
§ 22 Treason; definition, evidence.
Sec. 22.
Treason against the state shall consist only in levying war against it or in adhering to its enemies, giving them aid and comfort. No person shall be convicted of treason unless upon the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act or on confession in open court.
In the State of Michigan, treason is defined within war. The people might want to define war in the future.
§ 25 Marriage.
Sec. 25.
To secure and preserve the benefits of marriage for our society and for future generations of children, the union of one man and one woman in marriage shall be the only agreement recognized as a marriage or similar union for any purpose.
This might actually be seen as a reason to elect a particular party of governor or otherwise. To avoid that make this a referendum with most every election.
§ 12 Habeas corpus.
Sec. 12.
The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless in case of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it.
Is habeous corpus under attack in Flint, Michigan?
§ 8 Ineligibility of government officers and employees.
Sec. 8.
No person holding any office, employment or position under the United States or this state or a political subdivision thereof, except notaries public and members of the armed forces reserve, may be a member of either house of the legislature.
No conflict of interest is allowed. Let's add union leadership to that as well because they are not employed by the state. I would think rather scandalous the idea of a union leader being employed with the state UNLESS it was an unpaid position. That is why 'shops' can have union representatives that work there. They don't get paid.
§ 12 State officers compensation commission. (click here)
Sec. 12.
The state officers compensation commission is created which subject to this section shall determine the salaries and expense allowances of the members of the legislature, the governor, the lieutenant governor, the attorney general, the secretary of state, and the justices of the supreme court...
It is not unusual to have government employees protected by a union. Yes, the word was protected. Employees of the state can be subject to unfair treatment because of politics. That said. I thought this statute about compensation was particularly interesting.
§ 15 Legislative council.
Sec. 15.
There shall be a bi-partisan legislative council consisting of legislators appointed in the manner prescribed by law. The legislature shall appropriate funds for the council's operations and provide for its staff which shall maintain bill drafting, research and other services for the members of the legislature. The council shall periodically examine and recommend to the legislature revision of the various laws of the state.
I hope the council is doing it's job. I am CONFIDENT the people of Flint, Michigan doesn't think so.
§ 11 Legislators privileged from civil arrest and civil process; limitation; questioning for speech in either house prohibited.
Sec. 11.
Except as provided by law, senators and representatives shall be privileged from civil arrest and civil process during sessions of the legislature and for five days next before the commencement and after the termination thereof. They shall not be questioned in any other place for any speech in either house.
Don't let anyone sell the public the idea the state legislature is immune from the law. It is just while in session they cannot be interrupted. See, the people are represented. It could be that one party would try to remove votes while the session was called. The people have a right to replace state representatives though.
§ 23 Style of laws.
Sec. 23.
The style of the laws shall be: The People of the State of Michigan enact.
Remember the first section addressed political power? This reinforces it. The people, not any other form of established institution be it government, political or business, can take precedent over the people.
THAT ALSO INCLUDES THE CORPORATION OF A CITY. A city is established through a Charter by the people. Incorporation is a legal standing, HOWEVER, it cannot exceed the status of the people. When Flint and other cities in Michigan are PROVIDED an emergency manager by the state it has to BENEFIT the people.
Article IV
B. ...The Executive Director of OPT is the Chief Regulatory Officer of the state of Michigan.
That nullifies the entire head of any agency in the State of Michigan and places OPT in charge of every aspect of governance of the State of Michigan.
C. All records, personnel, property, unexpended balances of appropriations, allocations, or other funds used, held, employed, available, or to be made available to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs for the activities, powers, duties, functions, and responsibilities transferred by Section II of this Order are transferred to OPT.
What the heck is going on in Lansing?
Does Snyder do anything, except, screw up every aspect of state government?
Does one hand know what the other one is doing? WHEN IS FLINT GOING TO RECEIVE RELIEF FROM IT'S POISONS!!!!!!!!!!
Every person in the federal government is looking at the rainy day fund and saying "spend it." Yeah? You spend it and see where you get with this disaster of an administration!!!!!
The federal government needs to step in and make something work, otherwise, this is going to go on FOREVER!
The remaining composition/text of the document simply dumps the entire state government into this new dreamscape of dictatorship by Snyder. The entire state administration is dysfunctional and I HAVE HEARD FROM A PERSON I KNOW IN THE STATE GOVERNMENT, documents are missing.
There is plenty reasons for the federal government to SAVE THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE OF FLINT, MICHIGAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GET US EPA IN THERE!
People need to bath!

Article IV
| § 51 Public health and general welfare. Sec. 51. The public health and general welfare of the people of the state are hereby declared to be matters of primary public concern. The legislature shall pass suitable laws for the protection and promotion of the public health. There is no question. The public health and general welfare should not be compromised in any way. The people come first, health and well being equates to habeous corpus. There is absolutely no doubt what is occurring in Flint, Michigan is unconstitutional. Article IV § 52 Natural resources; conservation, pollution, impairment, destruction. Sec. 52. The conservation and development of the natural resources of the state are hereby declared to be of paramount public concern in the interest of the health, safety and general welfare of the people. The legislature shall provide for the protection of the air, water and other natural resources of the state from pollution, impairment and destruction. Fracking can be ended according to the Michigan state constitution. What else needs to be said. The Michigan state constitution provides for every aspect of the protection of life. Article V § 2 Principal departments. Sec. 2. All executive and administrative offices, agencies and instrumentalities of the executive branch of state government and their respective functions, powers and duties, except for the office of governor and lieutenant governor and the governing bodies of institutions of higher education provided for in this constitution, shall be allocated by law among and within not more than 20 principal departments. They shall be grouped as far as practicable according to major purposes. Subsequent to the initial allocation, the governor may make changes in the organization of the executive branch or in the assignment of functions among its units which he considers necessary for efficient administration. Where these changes require the force of law, they shall be set forth in executive orders and submitted to the legislature. Thereafter the legislature shall have 60 calendar days of a regular session, or a full regular session if of shorter duration, to disapprove each executive order. Unless disapproved in both houses by a resolution concurred in by a majority of the members elected to and serving in each house, each order shall become effective at a date thereafter to be designated by the governor. This is the article and section the governor cited in that executive order. I am wondering if any legislator challenges the executive orders after they have been signed. This is a really interesting constitutional law. It really does not give power to the governor to change aspects of constitutional provisions. The governor can write executive orders, but, they have to be submitted to the legislature. It is up to the legislature to disapprove of the executive order and vote it down. Snyder has a majority party in the legislature. I am sure not one executive order has come under scrutiny. This is some of the executive order: ...conducive to business growth and job creation; and WHEREAS, the core functions of regulatory reinvention, systematic process review, and strategic and performance excellence by state departments and agencies are inherently and inextricably linked; and WHEREAS, the movement toward government excellence and transformation must be aligned with accountability and financial resources through a permanent linkage with the Office of Internal Audit and the State Budget Office; He didn't include the definition of excellence, because, his performance and the leadership of his agencies are really lacking. ...C. OPT (Office Performance and Transformation) shall be responsible for continuous and systematic review and coordination of the state's regulatory, business, and customer service environments and processes as well as coordination and implementation of performance management metrics, service process optimization efforts, employee engagement programs and protocols, and change management and leadership education and training. The OPT Executive Director is a hatchet man. Snyder can attach all the political superlatives he wants to the executive order, but, the guy is a hatchet man. What bothers me is that the rainy day fund is within the Office of the Budget. This guy has carte blanc to effect it. He can write regulations. That level of organization is suppose to be exclusive to the Director and PROCESS including public comment. I don't know of a governing body that doesn't submit itself to public comment before writing regulations because changes in regulations effect the functioning of the state. This COT Executive Director can coordinate state regulations. I don't know of any other method to coordinate anything without writing new regulations. In reading through this executive order, I don't know why the Office of Budget has a Director. II. TRANSFER OF OFFICE OF REGULATORY REINVENTION A. All authority, powers, duties, functions, responsibilities, and rulemaking authority vested in the Office of Regulatory Reinvention under Executive Order 2011-5 are transferred to OPT. Snyder is reinventing the wheel when it comes to regulation in the State of Michigan. He has instilled a dictator. |
B. ...The Executive Director of OPT is the Chief Regulatory Officer of the state of Michigan.
That nullifies the entire head of any agency in the State of Michigan and places OPT in charge of every aspect of governance of the State of Michigan.
C. All records, personnel, property, unexpended balances of appropriations, allocations, or other funds used, held, employed, available, or to be made available to the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs for the activities, powers, duties, functions, and responsibilities transferred by Section II of this Order are transferred to OPT.
