I took this yesterday outside the capitol building (yes the piggy out front is for real). I was bummed out when I heard our elected officials couldn’t agree to a budget after 8 months of deliberation, so the state may halt services people depend on. Then my friend Lisa and I got to thinking about it and maybe this isn’t so bad after all! Yeah, that’s the ticket, I think they are actually trying to promote Michigan with new benefits, here they are:
1. You can speed with greater ease… less state troopers to bother us with those pesky speeding tickets.
2. Docs will be even more appreciative when you come in for self pay services, since payments from the state for healthcare services they’ve provided will be delayed.
3. Camp for FREE! Who cares about a “closed” sign, no one will be staffing state parks to get in your way.
4. State lottery players can avoid the stress of not knowing if they have a winning ticket, since ticket sales will shut down.
5. If you’re visiting Michigan, you can leave your luck at home because you won’t need it, the casinos will be closed too.
6. Also if you’re visiting Michigan, we’re about to become the B.Y.O.B. state, since liquor regulators will be off duty.
7. Good news for Michigan residents! You’ll have more time to get those license plate tabs, since the secretary of State offices will be closed. But, don’t worry there won’t be enough police around to catch you.
Hey folks, lets think positive, any other benefits you can think of? Help me out and post them in comments.
