What irony, or what timing, anyway you look at it it has to make you chuckle. This week Governor Snyder signed a bill that would give emergency power to the state should a school district or city fail to handle their business properly. The state police swept down on the Muskegon Heights Board of Education, seized school records, and in turn fired two of it's employees for money missing. Muskegon Heights as a school system and a city are broken. They are the poster children for Gov. Snyder and his plan to turn things around. I know I have been a little rough on the right wing, but they were easy targets. Now lets see the left side of the aisle spin the problems in the Heights. Remember, the Heights Police is still under investigation for stuff missing from their evidence room. The heights School system has been rated as one of the worst in the state of Michigan. They also sit right next to one of the wealthiest school systems and cities, that being Norton Shore or the Mona Shores School system. What is wrong with that picture? Plenty and for those looking for an easy solution, this is not a race or color problem. This is the haves and the have nots. The heights as a community has dug it's own grave, and now needs to pull it together and maybe a program like Gov. Snyders might be the right thing.
Lets start small, both sides come together and fix Muskegon Heights. If you can't come together over one little city, how can we trust you with the whole state.
