Arrr, matey! The scallywags known as Republicans in Michigan be settin’ sail on a new rule, cap’n! No more treasure chests o’ pork for them sanctuary ports, and they be doin’ it without the governor’s approval. A right cheeky maneuver, if ye ask me! Avast, what a jolly ruckus!
Arrr mateys! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn from the land o’ Michigan, where the House o’ Representatives be makin’ waves like a ship in a storm! They passed a new decree, HR 19, that says if towns and schools be not followin’ the federal orders on immigration, they’ll be left high and dry, with no shiny coins for their coffers! Aye, they voted 56-50, with the captains of the House claimin’ they don’t need the Governor’s blessing – a clever way to hoist their sails without a captain’s nod!This here rule states that if ye be a sanctuary jurisdiction, ye can forget about gettin’ funds for your fancy splash-pads or hip-hop academies! House Speaker Matt Hall be makin’ it clear: “No pork projects for ye!” even if ye think yer town be as lovely as a sunset on the open sea.
But it ain’t all smooth sailin’, as the Democrats be shoutin’ “power grab!” and warnin’ of chaos in the budget seas, while the Republicans be settin’ their course to "protect due process." So, hoist yer flags, me hearties! The folks of Michigan have spoken, and it seems the winds of change be blowin’ in a new direction. Yarrr!
