| Could I be the most corrupt governor ever? I could be. |
From Michigan Democratic Party
LANSING – Michigan Democratic Party Chair Mark Brewer issued the following statement on Governor Snyder’s decision to sign the GOP Legislature’s gerrymandered redistricting bills into law.
“Governor Snyder’s decision today to sign into law politically and racially gerrymandered redistricting maps, breaks his promise to voters that he would be a moderate and bipartisan governor. Just like 10 years ago, Republicans have used the redistricting process to tip the scales in their favor by disenfranchising voters. Voters deserve fair and competitive districts. Voters should be the ones who pick their elected officials – these maps instead allow elected officials to pick their voters.
“These bills were rammed through the Legislature with little public notice and no public input. The Republican Legislature ignored alternative maps which better complied with both state and federal law. We are extremely disappointed in Governor Snyder for not standing up for a fair, transparent, and bipartisan process which would have given voters a choice and a voice. Governor Snyder and the Republicans have instead ignored the needs of the voters with these politically and racially gerrymandered maps.”
