| Capital News Service does an article about term limits, and quotes Leon Drolet's opposition to changing term limits ... without mentioning that Drolet is emblematic of everything term limits was supposed to change. “It’s painful for a lot of lawmakers when they’re taken out of that environment and they realize they have to pick up their own dinner check,” Drolet said. “They realize all those lobbyists in Lansing weren’t really their friends and they have to fend for themselves in Michigan’s economic climate, just like anyone else.”
It does have the ring of the personal to it, doesn't it? Leon Drolet stepped -- term limited -- out of the House and found the private sector a very chilly place indeed. And then, realizing (by his own admission) that he had no useful skills for said private sector, went running back to the public sector, where he's spent time as a county commissioner and running a political advocacy group touting the magical healing powers of the private sector. |
