To require any State to reimburse the Federal Government for costs incurred when Federal military forces are deployed in response to civil disturbances or security threats caused by the States refusal to cooperate with lawful Federal immigration enforcement.

Scott Adams never does anything wrong. Bad things just seem to happen to him.

"...my natural personality is not to complain about stuff."

A bill before Congress that classifies flag-burning as an incendiary device.

It might be hard to tell, but that's Scotty under all that blonde hair.

These two bills have been passed by the Michigan House. The 'public' purpose is to return control of permitting solar fields and wind power generators to local government. It repeals statutes that currently allow the Michigan Public Service Commission to overrule local communities for green-energy projects. As far as I know, current statute doesn't allow local communities to overrule the construction of new fossil-fuel based power plants.

There are also these two clauses in the bill as passed:

(2) A county or township shall not regulate or control the drilling, completion, or operation of oil or gas wells or other wells drilled for oil or gas exploration purposes and does not have jurisdiction with reference to the issuance of permits for the location, drilling, completion, operation, or abandonment of such wells.

(3) An ordinance shall not prevent the extraction, by mining, of valuable natural resources from any property unless very serious consequences would result from the extraction of those natural resources. Natural resources shall be considered valuable for the purposes of this section if a person, by extracting the natural resources, can receive revenue and reasonably expect to operate at a profit.

The bills are actually anti-local control when it comes to mining and oil drilling operations. These two items have been left out of talking points.

I expect this to have broad bipartisan support and to pass with little opposition.
