A receipt passed around the internet has resulted in an arrest-- MENOMINEE, Mich. (Lansing State Journal) -- Buying $141.78 worth of lobster, steak and Mountain Dew with a Bridge card violates no laws or rules.

social standing OR, just a vast jobs program for teachers; inept or not? more... Teacher contract expired? No sweat; get 10+% raise anyway!Ever wonder why Michigan teachers only complain about working without a contract and never do anything about it? In the Linden School District, teachers reaching their 10th year in the district got a 10.5 percent pay increase, even though the union contract has expired. more...
Update - a bill already passed by the Michigan House and Senate and awaits Gov. Snyder’s signature, would establish that when a government employee union contract has expired and no replacement has been negotiated, any seniority-based automatic pay hikes for individual employees (“step increases”) may not occur.
