 State Legislatures Magazine: Michigan on Term Limits
Certainly, the grassroots term limits movement that swept Michigan and the rest of the country in the early 1990s wasn’t aimed at maintaining feeding tubes in the terminally ill. Backers of the Michigan proposal almost never cited specific legislation in their campaign to change the state’s constitution.
Similarly, former Representative and Senator Nick Smith, a Republican from southern Michigan, made a habit of marking the opening of each new session (he was elected to the House twice and the Senate three times) with a proposal to repeal Michigan’s inheritance tax.
Michigan taxpayers who were railing against the onerous burden of supporting a school system that didn’t seem to work weren’t asking whether their Legislature had enough experience to do something about it; they wanted action.

 AFA Michigan » NEWS RELEASE — House Dems Try to Hide Homosexual Agenda on “Bullying” Bill
On behalf of all of Michigan’s children, not just those who fall into certain segregated categories based on personal characteristics, we write in support of efforts to protect all public school students from bullying and in opposition to the unnecessary, misguided means by which HB 4091 and HB 4162 purport to seek such protection.
In the absence of any need for the state to mandate that local school officials and parents act to protect their own children, the real agenda behind this legislation is obvious enough.
Homosexual activists and their allies’ real agenda is clear: secure passage of an unnecessary state mandate that requires public school officials to legitimize and protect the practice of homosexual behavior by formally recognizing such behavior as the basis for offering specially designated protection to students who engage in it.
