Michigan Proposal #2.

In November 2012, Michigan voters will decide six ballot proposals that will impact the state’s future. Governor Rick Snyder is speaking out on those proposals and their consequences:

PROPOSAL TWO – The “Back in Time” Amendment

Proposal Two – the so-called “Protect Our Jobs” initiative – would cause serious harm to Michigan and make it harder for us to create more and better jobs.

I am a supporter of collective bargaining, but Proposal Two would amend our constitution to change the way bargaining would work in our state. It could lead to unlimited wage increases and early retirements with lavish pensions – all at the taxpayers’ expense. It rolls back Michigan labor laws made over the last 30 or 40 years. This proposal should be called “the Back in Time amendment.” It would seriously harm Michigan’s ability to keep moving forward.

Since I’ve taken office, Michigan has gone a long way toward getting control of deficits and out-of-control spending. Many of our cities and school districts that were buried under millions of dollars in debt have charted a path to a brighter future.

But Proposal Two would roll back important reforms that have gotten spending under control. These reforms are needed to make sure that schools can keep functioning, and that fire and police departments can keep protecting us.

We’re well on our way to reinventing Michigan. Why would we go back in time and turn away from the reforms that are helping us create more and better jobs?
