Time to Drain the Swamp in Lansing
For too long, Lansing politicians have operated behind closed doors, spending taxpayer money without accountability and serving special interests instead of Michigan families. Ralph Rebandt will change that.
Ralph believes in transparency in government and giving citizens direct input into decision-making. He'll expand the Freedom of Information Act to the governor's office, create citizen oversight of the budget, and drain the swamp in Lansing to restore accountability to Michigan government.
Ralph's Accountability Plan
Expand FOIA to Governor's Office
Right now, the governor's office is exempt from Freedom of Information Act requests. Ralph will change that and ensure full transparency in the executive branch.
- Make governor's office subject to FOIA
- Allow public access to government communications
- End secrecy in the executive branch
- Michigan citizens have a right to know
Anti-Appropriations Committee
Ralph will create an "anti-appropriations committee" made up of citizens who will review the state budget and recommend cuts to wasteful spending.
- Citizen oversight of state budget
- Review all government spending for waste
- Recommend budget cuts and reforms
- Let citizens audit their government
Operation Roundtable Approach
Ralph will use an "Operation Roundtable" approach, bringing diverse stakeholders together to discuss policy and legislation directly with the governor.
- Regular meetings with citizens and stakeholders
- Direct input from people affected by policies
- Transparent policy discussions
- Listen to Michiganders, not lobbyists
Drain the Swamp in Lansing
Lansing is full of career politicians, lobbyists, and special interests who profit while Michigan families struggle. Ralph will clean house and restore honest government.
- End crony capitalism and insider deals
- Limit lobbyist influence
- Stop politicians from profiting from office
- Serve the people, not special interests
Cut State Budget Significantly
Michigan's state budget is bloated with waste and unnecessary spending. Ralph will cut the budget significantly and return money to taxpayers.
- Eliminate wasteful government programs
- Reduce bureaucracy and overhead
- Streamline state operations
- Save taxpayer money
Transparency in Government
Michigan citizens deserve to know what their government is doing, how their money is being spent, and who is making decisions. Ralph will ensure full transparency.
- Public access to all government spending
- Online transparency portals
- Regular public reporting on government activities
- No more backroom deals
Government Should Serve the People
Government exists to serve the people—not the other way around. But Lansing politicians have forgotten that. They serve themselves, their donors, and their political ambitions while Michigan families struggle.
Ralph will restore accountability and transparency to Michigan government. Every citizen will be able to see what their government is doing, how their money is being spent, and who is making decisions. The swamp in Lansing will be drained, and government will once again serve the people of Michigan.
