NORTHVILLE, MI

Please keep my name on your mailing list for Michigan Capital Confidential. I read every word. It is disgusting to learn how useless and self-serving many of our representatives are. Thanks.


GLADWIN, MI

This idiotic notion by Rep. Constan on skiing helmets is a piece of work! (See "Just a Bill," September/October 2008 Michigan Capitol Confidential.) Must have a lot of time on his hands, is trying desperately to show he's doing something this term, or maybe he needs lessons in skiing after perhaps injuring his head on the slopes.

I don't need any laws telling me what apparel I wear skiing. Good God, when will people see the lunacy in these ideas and get the government free of these morons?

(I've skied since age 4- starting out @ Mt. Hood in Oregon and never suffered any injuries. This is due to constantly renewing safety precautions and observing them. They're out there and cost little.)


ZEELAND, MI

I have received several issues of Capitol Confidential, and boy am I glad you're there to let us know what's going on. These thieves — I mean politicians — have been able to hide and "get away with murder" for tooooo long. Way to expose them all!!!

Here are some others who would love to hear from you, too.

MILFORD, MI

I have just read the May/June issue of the Michigan Capitol Confidential. I learned so much. I must say I am upset after reading about the Wage and Fairness Bill. I am stunned. I don't even know what these people are thinking. Anyway, I would like to receive this newspaper in the future. I read my sister's copy.

Why we give Party Affiliations:
The Legislature is managed as a partisan institution. Lawmakers segregate themselves by party in matters from daily meetings to seating. They have separate and taxpayer-financed policy staffs to provide them with research and advice from differing perspectives. As such, gaining a full understanding of the vote of an individual lawmaker requires knowing his or her partisan affiliation.
