LANSING – The Michigan Democratic Party released the following statement on Gov. Rick Snyder’s decision to sign so-called “right to work” legislation this evening:
“If Governor Snyder thinks that Michigan citizens will go home and forget about what happened in Lansing today, he is sorely mistaken,” said Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer. “The people of Michigan will not forget how he abandoned working families and threw in with corporate CEOs like Dick DeVos and the Koch brothers. They will not forget how the Republican Legislature rushed through these bills with no committee hearings and little debate during the lame duck session. They will not forget how Snyder hid from the public and signed the bills before the ink was dry. Snyder has set the tone for the next two years, and this fight is not over. 2014 starts today.”
