Gross negligence or simply poor planning  in has led to many governments finding little more than a lump of coal and bad roads in our current economic state.  State and Local governments are not immune to the rapid spending while the coffers are full, and unfortunately almost ALWAYS resort to the same tactic to fill them back up with higher taxes.

In Grosse Point Shores:

Dr. Robert Lee, a former candidate for what was then the Shores Village Council, is leading a charge against Mayor James Cooper and Shores City Council members Vicki Boyce, Robert Graziani, Brian Hunt and Fred Minturn. The recall effort comes in the wake of a 1-mill tax increase — approved in a split council decision June 16.

Higher taxes in Michigan? Nah it would never happen..

Some folks don’t get it.  Higher taxes merely lead to higher taxes.  So its time to go!  Dr. Lee, has a goal of removing five members by recall.. Now thats a tall effort pardners… How about a hand or two for his posse? The link to his recall site is on the side.
