Michigan Tax Day Tea Party at the State Capitol: The crowd ranged from toddlers to senior citizens. Over 5,000 Michigan residents converged on the State Capitol today to protest the over-reach of government in DC and Lansing.

When the Michigan legislature returns from their spring break, they will have their plates full (of tax increases). Governor Granholm and several of her legislative friends are looking for more money. Bills have already been introduced to increase taxes and fees on:

 High school sports
 Bottled water
 Entertainment
 Vending machine items
 Vacant houses
 Property transfers
 Abandoned vehicles
 Septic systems
 Court filings
