Permalink Thousands rally against Gov. Rick Snyder's budget in Lansing

LANSING -- Thousands of people gathered at the Capitol in Lansing today for a union-sponsored rally against Gov. Rick Snyder’s budget proposal. Josh Windy, 31, of the Plumbers and Pipe Fitters Local 85 of Saginaw was beginning to grill about 10,000 hot dogs this morning for the hungry crowd, estimated to be between 3,000 and 4,000 strong.

“This is not about unions. It’s about working people,” he said. “He’s giving money to businesses and taking money from working people.” “But we shouldn’t take them unless they take them, too,” she said, pointing to the Capitol and referring to the legislature, governor and his appointees.

Corrine Carey thinks all public employees from the governor on down to building janitors should take cuts in wages and benefits from 3-5% to help deal with the budget crisis. The 84-year-old retired Grand Rapids teacher came to Lansing today to protest Gov. Rick Snyder’s budget proposal.
