By Steve McGough / March 7, 2012 /

In Michigan, the state and the SEIU created a collaborative crime syndicate to bilk care-giving parents of more than $28 million intended to care for disabled children.

By SoundOffSister / November 28, 2010 /

The small Detroit suburb of Hamtramck has asked the state of Michigan for permission to file for bankruptcy.  The facts leading up to this request are something you soon may be seeing all across the country.
