Recently, a local newspaper reported that Oakland lawmakers Bishop, Stakoe and Marleau want to challenge the new gravel road speed law, which they voted for.
Does this mean they were for it before they voted against it? Shouldn’t this have been hashed out/debated before they all passed it?
Now they want to amend it after getting an earful from just about everyone in Oakland County.
How can lawmakers get anything done if they have to re-do what they just did?
Shouldn’t they have first consulted with their constituents and listened to the experts who asked them not to pass the bill?
Now, they will spend more taxpayer dollars and most of the ‘lame-duck session? re-doing what they did.
This is legislation that never should have passed, as it conflicts with the prime directive of public health and safety first.
