MEA Says 8,000 Haven’t Paid Dues; Some Teachers Say Union Intentionally Misled Members
By Tom Gantert | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con
Eight thousand people not paying dues is a far greater number than the 1,500 the MEA claimed were not paying because they exercised their rights and opted out of the union. And while the MEA says it will send a collection agency after members who don’t pay dues, it recently dropped its fight to keep two teachers locked in the union. That could pose a problem for how the union deals with the 8,000 teachers who have not paid. … more

Unlicensed Dogs Get New Leash On Life; Taxpayers Due A Refund In Traverse City
By Jarrett Skorup | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con
A 95-year-old dog law that required sheriffs to kill unlicensed dogs finally is being repealed, and the secretary of state’s office said taxpayers in Traverse City are due a refund on an illegal mailing the school district sent out in 2012.

Look at Municipal Finance Trends Before Pumping In More Money

As local government officials cheered the full reimbursement of revenue loss due to phasing out personal property taxes, others questioned whether local governments require a new state funding source. But local governments are not generally in need of extra funding: they are a unique example of (mostly) successful intergovernmental cooperation and a focus on giving residents more bang for the buck. … more

Michigan’s ‘Pay It Forward’ College Tuition Plan Will Equal Higher Costs
By Audrey Spalding and Jarrett Skorup | Courtesy of Mich Cap COn
A “Pay It Forward” program would eliminate any incentives universities have to control costs. The amount students will have to eventually pay is predetermined, regardless of the actual cost of their degree. This will likely encourage more students to enroll in the most expensive institutions they can access, since they will not have to consider whether a more expensive university is worth the cost. … more

Revolving Door Crony Capitalism Spins Washington and Lansing
By Jack McHugh | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con
Our Founders recognized but a reality that many today have forgotten: When a government grows as big and intrusive as ours, redistribution of the wealth of a nation to a self-serving political class and its cronies is an inevitable consequence. There is no simple solution besides the obvious one of drastically scaling back the size and scope of government. … more
