His ignorance of Law of the Land is amazing…He doesn’t have the power to do it…it’s an impeachable act and demonstration his mental is not capable of leading the nation…there are rules to the job! +LLH
I voted “no” on House Bills 4001 & 4002. People deserve better wages and benefits for their work — it is only right. These bills weren’t there yet. Check out my full press statement:

"Sloppy Joe" Tate, you never even bothered to publicly talk about the bill to repair the Michigan Open Meetings Act at all - all because you are completely controlled by "Lobbyists" from the Michigan Townships Association and the Michigan Municipal League. You are corrupt and don't want elected officials held accountable to the people.
hahahaha!!! ... HAhaHAha!!! ... HAHAHAHA!!! ... "Sloppy Joe" Tate now realizes the importance of having such "Poor Taste" as NOT ruling in favor of the Michigan Open Meetings Act at the time of "2014" in the Supreme Court after "Declaratory Relief."
After months of negotiations with the UAW International Union, Stellantis announced that it will produce Dodge Durangos in Detroit — this means keeping jobs and manufacturing here at home. After months of negotiations, this announcement is welcomed news to Detroit's community.

Dr. King traveled over 6 million miles and spoke more than 2,500 times to fight injustice and inaction. His courage and leadership remind us to stand up against discrimination and work toward a just society.

Keep your hands off Detroit #NeverTate
HYPOCRISY! Disgraced State Rep. Joe Tate is quoting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s true statements about how only light drives out darkness; however, Joe Tate refuses to support the risk-free bills to improve Michigan's Sunshine Laws, such as the Open Meetings Act. Ever since late 2014, the Michigan OMA has been useless because a legal precedent changed the OMA in a way that no longer allows people to recover attorney fees and court costs when declaratory relief is obtained in court. Joe Tate never responds to me or anybody else about sponsoring the bill to restore the Open Meetings Act to the way the OMA was successfully enforced for over three decades. BOTTOM LINE: Joe Tate does NOT support the improvement of Michigan's Sunshine Laws that improve transparency.
