The Michigan Democratic Party's new chairman, Lon Johnson, is taking up where former chairman Mark Brewer left off -- delivering fire-breathing press releases bashing Republicans, in this case Gov. Snyder. Some may say that Johnson lacks the Brewer touch for bombast, but see what you think:
"Today, Gov. Snyder has decided to unilaterally take over control of the city of Detroit from its democratically elected leaders. This is nothing but a hostile take-over; we would expect this from a CEO, but not from a governor.
"There are real problems in Detroit, but we will only solve them with everyone at the table. We should trust in the democratic process. The process advocated by our governor is one of subtraction - removing elected leaders, removing stakeholders, removing the voices of the people.
"What Detroit needs, what Michigan needs, is a governor who is committed to the politics of addition -- bringing all elected leaders to the table, bringing all stakeholders to the table, and bringing the voice of the people of Detroit to the table.
“This is a hostile take-over. This overthrow of the democratic process is a deeply disappointing moment in our state’s history.”
