Newly hired Michigan public school employees would pay more for their pensions and lose state-funded health care during retirement under a bill headed to Gov. Rick Snyder for approval.
Newly-hired public school employees in Michigan would pay more for their pensions and lose state-funded health care in retirement under a new bill headed to Gov. Rick Snyder for approval. Sponsors of Senate Bill 1040, which was approved last Wednesday in the Republican-controlled Michigan House, said it will save school districts an estimated $300 million annually and trim $15 billion in legacy debt, according to The Detroit News. The bill, which reforms the Michigan Public Schools Employees' Retirement System (MPSERS), eliminates long-term pension and health care liability for Michigan's public schools. MPSERS, a statewide defined-benefit plan for employees, has liabilities currently totalling more than $48 billion — all of which schools …

Two rivals and editorial question County Commissioner Potts' co-hosting role.
The first campaign issue has flared in a three-way Republican primary campaign for the 40th State House District seat. Robert Lawrence and David Wolkinson say it's improper for their rival, David Potts, to continue as co-host of a local cable TV public affairs show. Potts and state Rep. Chuck Moss host Eye on Oakland, a half-hour studio discussion that airs two to four times a month on Bloomfield Community Television. They and guests discuss issues such as the state budget, education, road maintenance, Michigan's gasoline tax and economic development. "The show focuses on political decisions and their impact on local and state-level constituents," notes Lawrence in an email response to questions from Patch. "Setting aside his co-hosting …

With the redistricting battle behind him, the Oakland County Commissioner says he’s ready for Lansing and plans to spend $100,000 of his own money in his campaign.
It’s a pattern Birmingham and Bloomfield voters have seen before. With term limits looming for longtime state Rep. Chuck Moss (R-Birmingham), Oakland County Commissioner David Potts hopes to follow in footsteps of his predecessor into the Michigan House of Representatives in November, concluding his career in public service. “This will be it for me,” the three-term incumbent said in his Birmingham law office last week. “I have thought about and planned on doing this for a while, and now is really the best time.” As Moss eyes the opportunity to make a name for himself in state Senate and with Oakland County commissioner districts shrinking, Potts acknowledged this could be his best and only chance to serve in Lansing. Potts formally …

Chuck Moss did not miss one of the State House's 619 votes in 2011, according to a nonpartisan vote-tracking website.
State Rep. Chuck Moss (R-Birmingham) can add perfect attendence to his 2011 accomplishments — or, at least, a perfect voting record.

With his third term coming to an end in 2012, the Birmingham-based chairman of the state House Appropriations Committee said he may run for state Sen. John Pappageorge's seat in 2014.
Birmingham resident Chuck Moss may have another year left in his third term as a Michigan state representative, but he’s already looking ahead to what could be next: a seat in the state Senate. “I think I’ve done a pretty good job in Lansing,” said Moss (R-Birmingham), who is term-limited and cannot run for re-election to the seat in 2012. Moss said he is considering running for the seat held by state Sen. John Pappageorge (R-Troy), who is also term-limited and must give up his Senate seat in 2014. Moss represents Michigan’s 40th District, which includes Birmingham, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township, Keego Harbor, Sylvan Lake and Orchard Lake Village.
