POLL OVERVIEW<br />
---------------------<br />
Governor Snyder has asked the state of Michigan taxpayers to chip in $350,000,000&nbsp; over 20 years to Detroit pensions to prevent the sale of city-owned art.<br />
<br />
House Speaker Jase Bolger's is asking that the Detroit unions get some skin in the game by contributing money to help shore up pensions as part of the city</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>s strategy for exiting bankruptcy.<br />
<br />
The&nbsp; governor says Bolger</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>s request isn</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>t on his list of conditions for the state to to solver the problem.<br />
<br />
Snyder feels Bolger</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>s requirement will make approving bankruptcy legislation in May more </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>challenging.</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span><span style="font-size: x-large;">'<br />
</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br />
Snyder and GOP legislative leaders have pledged state aid to settle the bankruptcy, partly to ensure city pensioners can&rsquo;t sue Michigan when their benefits are trimmed. But it&rsquo;s not a done deal in the Republican-led Legislature.<br />
<br />
Bolger said unions should help mitigate the impact on pensioners, from whom they collected dues, by contributing an unspecified sum to a $816 million pension rescue fund.<br />
<br />
Senate Majority Leader Randy Richardville said he</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>s not as </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>adamant</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span> as Bolger that the unions </span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span>put some skin in the game,</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span></span> but that he wouldn</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">'</span>t hold up a vote over the issue.<br />
