For years, advocates have long pushed for Michigan to let undocumented immigrants secure driver’s licenses.

That effort failed again despite the Democratic trifecta of state government control.
 

“We’re devastated,” said Yvonne Navarrete, policy director at We the People Michigan. “There’s just been years of efforts from undocumented organizers and from our nonprofit coalition, and for all of that effort to not come to fruition in the final moments due to lack of leadership and lack of organization amongst the Democratic Party, it’s disappointing.”

This was such a monumental issue here in Michigan, that this is the first I've heard anything about it.  Say! You don't suppose the democrats and media colluded to hide it, do you?
