The Governor wants to increase gas taxes and other fees. There is over $500 Million in Michigan's Rainy Day Fund. "At least" almost 9% of the citizens of Michigan are unemployed and many more are under employed. Until we see a substantial improvement in our state's unemployment rate we can not accept any new taxes.

This Act will legalize cannabis in the State of Nevada and provide needed revenue for drug and alcohol rehab programs and for educational needs. The Act will save billions in law enforcement, incarceration costs, and free-up the legal system for prosecution of more important crimes.

River workers have some of the most dangerous work of all industries and are being forced to work over 20 straight hr shifts.After one person was caught asleep he was wrote up and asked why he fell asleep while on shift.how could a person even ask such a stupid question after making a person work that many hrs.how safe is this!

Thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people have been let go from their jobs to allow corporations to save money on payroll or insurance premiums. Most are older workers or employees who "run up" the premiums with frequent healthcare visits. They sign a statement to remain silent about details and circumstances of their exit, in exchange for a meager severance. However, by law, if New Company X calls Previous Company Y about the fired or laid-off employee, X can ask Y "Is s/he (the candidate) eligible for re-hire." A "no" from Previous Company Y, without explanation, is a nail in the coffin for the candidate. This is an unfair and discriminatory practice: the ex-employee cannot comment about Y but the Y, by answering "no" to the eligibility question, says it all and can totally destroy the ex-employee's chances for employment. This situation requires immediate legislative action to ensure that people are hired based on skills, experience and abilities and not on the bias of a former employer.

The Pacific NW continues to be a very regionally driven economy and needs the transportation infrastructure to support it. Living in North Portland and next to I-5, our air quality is significantly dirtied from car traffic and especially affects young and old folk's health. Developing public-private partnerships to issue in a new age of train travel in our region and beyond could greatly mitigate future environmental problems, put folks back to work, and absolutely improve our economy.

After March 1, 2013, if Congress and the President fail to reach a budget agreement, sequestration will take affect. Federal agencies will see their operating budgets slashed between 6-13%, thus forcing them to furlough tens of thousands of dedicated federal employees. Furthermore, these cuts will further damage a fragile economy which will negatively impact all hard-working Americans. Federal employees deserve better. Tell Republican lawmakers to pass a budget that prevents sequestration and puts Americans back to work.

The people services that is already in place, e.g., social security, medicare, food stamp, etc., should be protected and their should be NO cuts on these programs. I have applied for jobs, still waiting on one, my husband collecting unemployment, we are going by due to getting food stamps, which it helps greatly until our situation gets better. We will be retiring this year, and our health is deteriorating not getting better..we hope to have funds available to be able to retire without having to worry on our circumstances.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg has attacked the police and fire unions, mass transit union, public school teachers union and now the school bus unions. He told the governor of NY, Andrew Cuomo, to veto the very same job protection provision the mayor included in the contract he sent to the governor to sign. Why did the governor allow a mayor to tell him what to do? Now the mayor is claiming the protection is illegal and refuses to be involved in the labor dispute. The mayor wants to cut school bus runs so successful workers would be laid off every year, then recreate runs so bus companies could rehire the laid off workers as new drivers at beginner salaries, the protection prevents this sneaky deed. The NYC Council, NYC Comptroller, the police and transportation unions, sand parents of students are all against the the mayor's actions. We need to tell this governor to stand up against this malicious mayor and protect the modest middle class jobs in his state, which is the promised he made to New Yorkers when he ran for governor.
