I’m something of an ignoramus when it comes to tracking politics at the state levels.
Can someone direct me to resources for tracking legislation in my home state re: labor and right-to-work especially?
I live in Michigan, if that helps. I’m fairly sure that Rick Snyder has it in mind to try to make Michigan a right-to-work state as well during his term.
Thanks.

Fair enough. So, are you saying a national database of mental illnesses sounds like a good idea to you? Every time an American citizen seeks treatment for, say, depression, and gets a diagnosis of mild depression, and gets a prescription of oh, I don’t know, 90 days of Paxil … that person goes into the database? Is that what we’re talking about here? Because HIPAA or no HIPAA, that just seems like a bad idea to me, even apart from the gun issue. It strikes me that such a DB could be abused for other purposes.

I like the idea of background checks, closing the “gun show loophole,” and — on some level — mental health should factor into gun control in some way (on the general principle: “Don’t give guns to crazy people.”) Nevertheless, such a national database would be nearly impossible to create without a violation of HIPAA rules, it seems to me.
