The Center for Michigan sends a weekly email newsletter that takes a look at Michigan's problems AND potential solutions from a perspective that is neither Republican nor Democrat - ie. the approach that will probably be required to get our partisanly polarized political process back on the rails.
Rather than weigh you down with yet another list of reasons that we are doomed, Fresh Thoughts for Michigan Moderates offers brief summaries and great links for everything from a call by Nolan Finley to make Michigan a Right to Work state to some no-nonsense recommendations by the Michigan Campaign Finance Network:
Michigan's State government is lurching from one political crisis to the next. Imagine better politics. Imagine a better functioning democracy where every voice has equal standing, and every citizen feels the full responsibility of citizenship. Better politics should lead to better public policies and a clearer, more purposeful course for our future.
A Case for Political Reform in Michigan includes rationale for 33 political reforms in the areas of campaign finance, lobbying, ethics, term limits, redistricting, election administration, judicial independence and enforce.
This is quite simply the best email I receive and I cannot recommend it enough - register right here.
