Sean McCann and Tonya Schuitmaker Repeal the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act of 2011For several reasons this law is a net loss for the state: Innocent bystanders getting hurt, some of whom don't have health insurance, which results in higher premiums for everybody; the unfunded mandate to our local jurisdictions from: increased police/fire/ems calls; administration of licenses, inspection and enforcement of regulations for fireworks businesses; this law cannot be enforced because of budget cuts to police departments across the state. This allows fireworks to be used for weeks around the holiday instead of days resulting in serious degradation of our quality of life, THIS LAW SHOULD BE REPEALED.91 of 100 SignaturesCreated by Jim Ferner

Tell Taskrabbit.com to switch back to a bidding/quick assign formatIn the past week, thousands of people have seen their income come to a complete halt or be significantly reduced by this change, a change forced on the workers without their input. The ability of workers to choose what jobs they accept and where and when they work embodied the brilliance and appeal of this employment platform, and that is all gone due to these changes.115 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Jennifer Chambless

Reduce carbon emissions in Nevada!By investing $500 million in tax abatements for clean energy projects, Nevada has attracted $5.5 billion of capital. These investments provide a 10 to 1 return, providing Nevada with jobs and a long-term competitive advantage among Western states. Fortune 500 companies have also demonstrated strong returns from clean energy investments and are collectively saving $1.1 billion dollars a year and reducing CO2 emissions by 58.3 million metric tons, which is similar to retiring about 15 coal power plants. By developing and implementing our own plan to reduce carbon emissions, Nevada will harness more of our own natural energy resources, including improved efficiency and increased geothermal, solar and wind development. This will allow us to keep more of our money in Nevada by decreasing our dependency on out of state fossil fuels, which are subject to volatile price fluctuations while increasing our ability to export clean, renewable energy.134 of 200 SignaturesCreated by Clean Energy Project

Encourage the growth of rooftop solar systems!Net metering is an important policy that encourages distributed generation systems, such as roof-top solar, by allowing individuals and businesses to plug into Nevada’s grid system and receive credits toward their bills for the energy their systems generate. By supporting distributed generation, Nevada will continue private investments into the clean energy economy, harness our own natural resources and keep more of our money in state by decreasing our purchase of out of state fossil fuels, which are subject to volatile price fluctuations.1,283 of 2,000 SignaturesCreated by Clean Energy Project
