MIRS Monday, Feb. 14, 2011

Benton Harbor City Commissioner Dennis Knowles passes around a flier telling his citizens that this is "NO TIME TO GET HIGH OR DRUNK, IT'S TIME TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS FOR OUR LIVES OR YOU CAN DIE" if Rep. Al Pscholka's bill reforming the state's emergency financial manager law is put into effect. MIRS talks to the Stevensville Republican about these "scare tactics." Also, listen to Lt. Gov. Brian Calley's "atomic bomb" comment. Will the Legislature go along with a flattened, rolled-up budget? MIRS Editor Kyle Melinn, Publisher John Reurink and Senior Analyst Jack Spencer debate the question.
