I found this link on Face Book last night. I seem to remember that we have discussed this issue before, so I thought it might be interesting to my esteemed colleagues, especially since it's about their home town and state. I have been saying for years that we should kick the cities of Southern Michigan out of our state. Nobody has taken me seriously in the past, but maybe it's an idea whose time has come. Indeed, according to the article, a couple of other states have introduced similar measures in their legislatures, and several others are thinking about doing so. I found the article to be well balanced, looking at the pros and cons from several perspectives.
Uncle Ken, the logic of your argument about the Christmas lights is fine, but I would be surprised if you are able to win that way. It's like some famous guy once said: "Government is not eloquence. It is not reason. It is force! Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
