Progress Michigan Responds to Gov. Snyder’s Fifth State of the State Address
MICHIGAN — Below is Progress Michigan’s statement in response to Gov. Rick Snyder’s State of the State address:
“Governor Snyder kept talking about the river of opportunity, but his policies have left many Michigan families up shit creek without a paddle,” said Lonnie Scott, Executive Director of Progress Michigan. “The Governor once again glossed over the right-wing policies of his administration that have hurt Michigan families. Gov. Snyder has actively fought against LGBT equality, attacked a woman’s right to choose and refused to hold corporations like Aramark accountable for abusing our tax dollars. What we heard tonight was more happy-talk from a governor who has been nothing but a puppet for right-wing corporate donors.”
