I just learned today that Michigan’s Democratic lawmakers have decided to take a bold stand to slightly reduce the allowable driving blood alcohol level to .05, the only state in the union to keep up with Utah. This is what we’re blowing our political capital on? THIS?
Michigan may soon join Utah with the nation’s lowest drunken driving limit.
Rep. Abdullah Hammond, D-Dearborn, sponsored a bill that would lower the state’s blood-alcohol content (BAC) for driving under the influence from 0.08 to 0.05.

And you know, thank goodness Michigan’s Democrats are leading with this crap along with the new Governor Whitmer’s insanely high 45 cents per gallon tax on gasoline to finance our roads rather than, I don’t know, going back to the old way of taxing businesses, rich people, basically anything but selling out and passing on the expense to the working stiffs that need to commute to work just to make a living.
LANSING — Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday proposed raising Michigan's gas tax by 45 cents per gallon by Oct. 1, 2020 — an action she said would raise more than $2 billion annually to fix Michigan's crumbling roads.
Heaven forbid Michigan’s Democtatic lawmakers put their foot down for a single issue of interest to Democrats or liberals….higher minimum wage, lower drug prices, criminal justice reform, frickin’ child care for working mothers, help with tuition, more funding for schools….
For cryin’ out loud take out a dart and toss it at a board and pick ANY...ANY….ANY single platform issue we care about to actually put your foot down on. ANY one would do.
Instead we’re going to put our foot down for…….a slightly lower blood alcohol level so we can keep up with Utah. You know...to cater to the throngs of Michiganders clamoring for more onerous government control and fines. It’s not even a popular issue! It’s not EVEN pandering. It’s just cringe worthy shit.
Way to make Democrats look like assholes, Michigan Democrats. WAY. TO. GO! You make it harder and harder for your party loyalists to defend your crap.
How out of touch do you have to be to push for this garbage? Have any of you people been listening AT ALL to ANYTHING we want?
What the hell is wrong with you people?
