[Genealib] Michigan abolishes Dept. of History, Arts and Libraries

[Claire Kluskens]

Awful, just terrible. The executive order does not become effective  
until Oct. 1.  Perhaps the people of Michigan can raise enough fuss  
to get it rescinded.  The rest of us can help.

I suggest we all (even those who don't live in Michigan) to contact  
the Governor. I just used the online email message system at
http://www.michigan.gov/gov/0,1607,7-168-21995-65331--,00.html
