Here’s my piece explaining the 100-hour vote that ended in Michigan last night — for now. Democrats want to raise taxes by $1.2 billion on an economy that is arguably the worst in the country. The struggle comes in advance of this weekend’s conference on Mackinac Island, which all of the GOP presidential candidates will attend.

The state House has adjourned after sending a “vehicle bill” to the state Senate, where it must stay for five days before coming back. Then the siege can begin again. The question is, who wins — the taxpayers, or the pigs?
