Michigan House passes only one piece of legislation in January

The one thing moving forward in Michigan’s State House — is gridlock.

Legislation is moving at a glacial pace, with just one bill approved in the month of January as a 54-54 split is temporarily in place in the House between Democrats and Republicans.

Bridge Michigan reports that House GOP Leader Matt Hall has urged a “shared power” agreement, but Democrat leaders aren’t interested. The Dems are expected to regain their House majority through special elections that are planned for April.

The lone bill that was approved this past month was a honorific piece of legislation that renames a part of a state highway for a firefighter that died of a stroke.

The government that governs best governs least. Nearly every piece of legislation strips someone of their rights or their dollars.

We would all be better off if gridlock was far more commonplace.
