Matt Maddock, a Michigan state representative, posted a series of tweets on February 11, 2026, addressing issues ranging from political commentary to education and public funding.
In one post made at 05:01 UTC, Maddock commented on the tenure of an unnamed political figure: “I thought the turtle resigned from office after 73 terms? https://t.co/2ScW2LiLvc”
Shortly after, at 05:06 UTC, he turned his attention to Michigan’s educational system with the following statement: “Michigan has the highest teacher to administrator ratio in the nation. 34 administrators for every 2 teachers. Simply cut the administrators by 70% and eliminate 70% of property taxes. https://t.co/QB6la1bjOd” There is no available evidence supporting Maddock’s claim that Michigan has a teacher-to-administrator ratio of “34 administrators for every 2 teachers,” nor that such staffing reductions would directly allow for eliminating most property taxes.
Later that day, at 19:29 UTC, Maddock posted about taxpayer funding: “It must be taxpayers either though a library or a nonprofit or a university.”
Maddock serves as a Republican member of the Michigan House of Representatives. His posts reflect ongoing debates in Michigan over public spending priorities and administrative costs in education. Discussions around school administration levels and tax policy have been prominent in state politics but often involve complex factors not addressed in social media statements.
