Recently the Michigan legislature had a sudden burst of civility and compromised on legislation to increase the minimum wage and to fund a large portion of the grand compromise to protect Detroit pensioners. It looked like that might carry over to getting a real solution to fixing the roads, but as of now the Republicans and Democrats are back at each other’s throats. It reminded me a bit of the old “Ralph Wolf and Sam Sheepdog” Warner Brothers cartoons. You guys remember those?
