 Why are you cutting a special bill for lawyers? Let them be subject to lawsuits like any other group. If you really want to do something useful, submit a bill that will limit their take on lawsuits-not the 30+% they get for writing 3 letters to an insurance company etc. Change that to 5% or less. That would mean many lawyers would leave Michigan, and that would be a good thing.
