I'm not up to speed on Indiana yet. I'll look at that tomorrow.

In Michigan, the Republicans are not willing to compromise. They have determined that the Unions should go (be destroyed). The Unions have offered to negotiate an 8% salary/benefits decrease (8% if memory serves--I'm not going to look it up right now; it's past my bedtime and exhaustion rules); however, the Republicans do not want to negotiate.

Rachel Maddow (yes, that's steam coming out of TB's ears) explained tonight on Jay Leno that the Unions are the only group on the liberal side who the money to counter the Republican PACs. So the Republicans want them gone. Once the Unions are gone, the Republicans can pretty well sweep the table. God help us all.

They're just asking for a revolution here. And they're likely to get it. It may not be a bloody coup but it will change our government setup. Mark my words; it will happen.

I hadn't thought of it this way but she said the Unions are why we have a middle class. Thinking on it, she's right.
