I've been extremely disappointing with your administration in several areas:
1) You appointed Scott Woosely to head MSHDA, an appointment that subsequently cost taxpayers over $200k in reimbursements on things like stretch limos and escargot.
2) You handed out 90% pay raises to state Treasury Officials.
At a time when the state was imposing a new tax on pensions, how do you justify this happening under your watch?
After you entered office in September 2012, a state furniture contract owned by your own cousin was doubled to $41 million. What is the reasoning for doubling your cousin's furniture contract at the same time you imposed a new tax on senior retirements and cut schools?
Governor in your campaign commercial you use a beautifully repaired road as the metaphor for your term as governor and the road to recovery you claim Michigan is on. However the road in your commercial was repaired during the Granholm administration and the Emmett County road commission is very upset that you would try to claim credit for the road. Governor will pull that commercial down because it is misleading and dishonest to try to claim credit for road repair your administration had nothing to do with and in fact you have done nothing for roads?

'd ask him to do the math. Schools were cut by $1 billion and money went to pay for his tax breaks for corporations…
Why did Snyder raise taxes on retirement and middle class to pay for a $1.8 billion tax cut for corporations and those at the top?
Can you please check the math? Schools were cut by $1 billion and money went to pay for his tax breaks for corporations.
As Governor, what is your position on gas and oil drilling in highly populated residential areas of Southeast Michigan?
What are you doing to stop residential oil drilling? We now have oil drilling rigs in Shelby Township in a zoned residential subdivision.
At the end of July West Bay Exploration began drilling an oil/natural gas well on residential zoned land that is surrounded by over 900+ homes. The closest home only 450feet from the well. Current Michigan law allows for this industrial activity to happen in residential areas and gives townships no say in the matter. What is your position on drilling in densely populated residential areas? Do you feel the laws governing this activity need to be changed and if so, how?
