By Jarrett Skorup | Courtesy of Michigan Capitol Confidential

Forever With Us All: A Memorial Day Remembrance

By Dr. Paul Kengor | Courtesy of Michigan Capitol Confidential

Memorial Day always brings another constant, a sad one: each new Memorial Day brings fewer World War II veterans. They are leaving us at a rapid clip. Anyone who entered World War II at age 18 in 1945 — the final stretch when someone could have joined the war effort — would now be 86 years old. Anyone who entered the war at age 18 in 1941 is 90. There aren’t as many now as there were 10 years ago, and 10 years from now … well, do the math. … more

School District Denies Teacher’s Claim of Bias in Evaluations

By Tom Gantert | Courtesy of Michigan Capitol Confidential

A Port Huron Northern High School teacher says the district where she works is using evaluations for “punitive” reasons and getting rid of teachers with the highest ratings over those with lower ratings.

If true, the district may have been breaking the law.

The district superintendent, however, says the claim is “absolutely, positively” untrue. … more

Michigan Votes: Bill Would Lessen Burdensome Mandates on Landscape Architects

Workers are currently forced to have seven years experience, take approved classes and provide references to the state

By Jarrett Skorup |Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

The State of Michigan was admitted into the union in 1837 – for most of that time, landscape architects were able to work without having to jump through a bunch of hoops with the government. That changed a few years ago, but a bill in the State House would repeal some of those requirements. … more

Commentary: Medicaid Expansion Wrong Even with Reforms

By Jack McHugh |Courtesy of Michigan Capitol Confidential

This bad law is vulnerable on many fronts: legal, political, administrative, technological, perverseness. While outright repeal is unlikely under the Obama administration, it is possible Congress — including the Reid Senate — will be forced to open the law for amendment, at which point who knows what favorable changes the then-current climate of public opinion would allow (or demand).  … more
