Lawmakers OK Higher Speed Limits

The state legislature approved raising the speed limit to 75 on some rural stretches of interstates and to 65 on some state roads.

Bills passed would also let hunters expand the colors they can wear in the woods.
The bills are now up to Gov. Snyder.

The Michigan Senate won’t vote this term on tougher voter ID requirements and bills that would make the governor and lawmakers subject to public-records requests.

Senators also won’t vote on tougher fines for illegal mass picketing.

The voter ID and anti-strike bills were approved by the GOP-controlled House last week along party lines.

Voters without an ID currently sign an affidavit before voting. Under the bill, they could vote but would have to go to the local clerk’s office no later than 10 days after the election to get their ballot’s counted.
