On the heels of Republican Cindy Gamrat filing to run for the House seat her colleagues threw her out of in the wee hours of the morning last Friday, her beau former colleague, Todd Courser, today announced that he, too, will run in the Republican primary for the seat he quit just seven days ago. He made the announcement today […]

After being tossed out of her seat due to a sex scandal and cover up, verbally abused by constituents at a recent “meet and greet” event in her district, and openly mocked by people across the globe, the now-infamous Cindy Gamrat has decided that she wants to give voters one last chance to throw mud at her and has filed […]

A few days ago I wrote about Stephen Young, the chair of the Allegan County Tea Party. Allegan County is the home base for former State House Rep. (I love saying that) Cindy Gamrat and Young has been Gamrat’s staunchest and most vocal supporter. Young was so outraged at Gamrat being thrown out of the legislature that he went on […]

Cindy Gamrat got elected in Allegan County largely because there is such an active tea party presence there. Her over the top politics are so in-sync with this group that even her lying and philandering weren’t enough for her to lose their support. In fact, the head of the Allegan County Tea Party, Stephen Young, told WZZM, “The question now […]

“Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday machine is lost if you keep it a secret! Why didn’t you tell the world?” – Dr. Stranglove This morning, after Michigan House Democrats successfully negotiated with Republicans to urge Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette to open an investigation into the Gamrat/Courser/Cotter scandal, Schuette issued a statement through his spokesperson saying, “We […]

In what can only be described as a dramatic day in Michigan politics, House legislators convened for over 14 hours yesterday to consider the matter of expelling philandering liars Cindy Gamrat and Todd Courser from their institution. The first two rounds of votes failed to oust the two as Democrats held their position, many refusing to cast a vote, in […]

As anyone who reads this blog knows, I have been following the ongoing saga & scandal of Cindy Gamrat and Todd Courser since even before they were actually elected to the House of Representatives. However, since I began writing about them, this week was the first time that this site became part of the story, albeit in a small way. […]

After several days of testimony, the “Select Committee to Examine the Qualifications of Representatives Cindy Gamrat and Todd Courser” voted to expel both Cindy Gamrat and Todd Courser. The two Democrats on the Committee voted “pass” since they wished to hear additional testimony in an effort to establish whether or not House Republican leadership knew about the wrongdoing by the […]

NOTE: This post has been updated HERE. The Courser/Gamrat scandal continues to unfold unravel this week, sucking all of the oxygen out of Lansing and ensuring that our Do-Nothing Republican-led legislature continues to get nothing done. The hearings being held by the “Select Committee to Examine the Qualifications of Representatives Cindy Gamrat and Todd Courser” continued this week with both […]

One of the worst parts about my chronicling of the Gamrat/Courser fiasco is that, as much as I’m sick of it and want to stop, I’m now all but obligated to continue writing about it as things continue to unfold unravel. Today is no exception. We now have the House Business Office (HBO) “Report on the Investigation of Alleged Misconduct […]

The summer of 2015 will go down in the annals of Michigan history as a time when the Republican in our state displayed an complete and utter lack of leadership. Don’t forget that the GOP controls literally every level of government of significance – and have for the past five years – so this abject failure is theirs and theirs […]
