This raises all kinds of questions on what is means to have a vote and be represented in your local (USA) community.

Add to that: Drug testing for the unemployed, scripts being written for your physician and making sure you have your papers with you, citizen, if you are going to travel on the public streets.

@djjd62,
Given the GOP State Government's recent penchant for piling on what is necessary as proof of nearly anything, I doubt that a mere copy of a birth certificate will soon suffice. It would seem to me that the very people who rail against the idea of a Federal ID card will be the ones who force everyone to obtain an Official State of _______ ID.

PS What do you think about the expansion of the Michigan law allowing the State appointed Emergency Managers far greater powers?

Quote:
Less than two months after Gov. Rick Snyder asked the Legislature to expand the state’s ability to intervene in communities facing budget problems, the Republican-controlled House and Senate have finalized a bill that gives unprecedented power to appointed Emergency Managers.

The Local Government and School District Fiscal Accountability Act creates a range of triggers for state involvement in local communities and allows the governor to appoint managers to fire local elected officials, break labor agreements, suspend collective bargaining rights for five years, order millage elections, take over pension funds and even dissolve local governments.

The law also contains a provision added by the Senate that gives towns a chance to avoid takeover by entering into a budgeting consent agreement with the state and becoming exempt from collective bargaining agreements.
