LANSING – Michiganders had a lot to celebrate and remember in 2013 – things like Wrestling Month and Flower Planting Day. In fact, during 2013 only about 23 days in December weren’t covered by a special designation from the House of Representatives or Senate. Other special times included Autism Awareness Day, Frisbee Day, International Talk Like a Pirate Day, Pumpkin and Pumpkin Spice Season, Professional Pest Management Month and High School Radio Day. But critics aren’t feeling festive about unique resolutions. Advocates of a part-time legislature say it shows that lawmakers have too much time on their hands.
