The "People's" Governor

Does our Governor want to hear our issues?

I recently wrote to our Governor Rick Snyder about an issue that concerns me and an issue that needs to be dealt with. The issue was about Teen Driving Restrictions and how the restrictions need to be changed. After waiting for months, I never got a response back from the governor or any of the staff. This is when I began to question the amount of time that out governor spends on listening to the people. His first priority should be to listen and react to all of the public. I presume that I am not the only person that has contacted the Governor with no response. I am not the only person that got the “cold shoulder” from our State government. It is honestly crushing when a governor that the citizens elected to voice their opinion isn't even listening and responding to those same citizens. Is this the type of governor we elected? Did we elect a governor that won’t listen and respond to its citizens?
