Michigan Finally Reverses the Number of People Leaving

State lost more residents than it gained to migration every year from 1996-2011

By Tom Gantert | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

From 1996 to 2011, Michigan saw more people leaving the state than coming in, according to Atlas Van Lines, a moving company that tracks migration across the country. The last two-thirds of this period corresponded with an especially bleak time for Michigan’s economy. … more

Now Lansing Politicians Want a Poet Laureate

What rhymes with ‘that’s not your job’?

By Michael D. LaFaive | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

In recent weeks Lansing politicians have proposed laws mandating an official poem for Michigan and forcing taxpayers to buy a state flag for the survivors of current or former legislators when they die. Now comes yet another piece of institutional grandiosity: a bill to create an official state poet laureate. … more

Celebrating 40 Years of Amtrak Deficits (Subsidized by You)

 Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

MLive reported Sept. 30 that Amtrak’s Blue Water line from Port Huron to Chicago was offering a ticket deal to celebrate 40 years.

MLive reported: “You’ll need to act fast for the ticket deal, which kicks in when a customer purchases one ticket — that allows them to purchase a companion ticket for 40 percent off.”

For the Record says: Only in the subsidized world of public transit can a company celebrate an anniversary with deals despite years of being in the red. The Blue Water line lost $3.2 million in 2012, $2.3 million in 2013, and as of July 2014 was $900,000 in deficit. Michigan spends $40.6 million, $98.11 per roundtrip passenger, to subsidize its Amtrak lines.

Choosing the Next Michigan Speaker of the House

Some key differences between the potential leaders

By Jack Spencer | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

An issue that could have a significant impact on this year’s House GOP leadership race is the so-called Hastert Rule, under which a House Speaker pledges not to allow any measure to pass that doesn’t have the support of a majority of the members of his own caucus. In 2013, Medicaid expansion was passed by the House with the Democrats supplying most of the “yes” votes along with slightly less than a majority of the Republicans. … more
