[Michlib-l] SB 571

[Donald Worrell]

No, this is merely the opinion of a politician who
happens to hold the office Governor, like him or not...

While this is nice, how much weight does the Governor's interpretation carry in a court of law?  I mean, this is not the same as an Attorney General's Opinion, is it?

Thank you so much for sharing, Pam. I did not interpret the new bill as preventing librarians from providing reference service to patrons with election questions. Hopefully others will feel comfortable in providing reference service as well.

Hello Everyone,

Because we have a millage coming up in March, we've been watching this legislation pretty closely.  Governor Snyder offered a letter of clarification that should help put librarian minds at ease.  http://www.michigan.gov/documents/snyder/SB_571_signing_letter_510083_7.pdf

Thank you,

Pamela Withrow, Director
