Wolf hunt can proceed after Michigan House vote

LANSING — By a 65-43 vote, the Michigan Legislature voted today to support a wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula, ignoring pleas to let the issue go on the November ballot for a statewide vote.

The vote came after legislators on both sides of the issue argued passionately for and against the initiative.

State Rep. Ed McBroom, R-Vulcan, said the Humane Society of the United States, which bankrolled the anti-wolf hunt petitions, has ulterior motives.

“They’re highly deceitful. They want no management of the wolves. They’re striving to end hunting,” he said. “The aura of the wolves has grown to epic proportions, almost like Santa Claus.”

But state Rep. Sarah Roberts, D-St. Clair Shores, scoffed at the Legislature’s multiple efforts to stop the wolf hunt referendums.

“I feel like I’m in that movie ‘Ground Hog Day’ where the same thing keeps happening over and over again,” she said. “You’re denying the people’s right to petition their government, and circumvention of the vote of the people is beginning to look like a circus.”

Once again the baggers have stomped on us, prohibiting the citizens of Michigan to vote on laws we legally petitioned to put on the ballot. That's the MO for these fascists--and that's how they're acting--just like fascists. Bastards. All of them.
