Michigan Attorney General Latest Recall Target

Attorney General Bill Schuette is the latest high-profile Michigan Republican targeted for a recall effort. The Midland County Clerk’s office confirmed Monday proposed recall petition language has been filed against Schuette, who is in his first year as the state’s attorney general. A clarity hearing on the language is Aug. 1.

 

The Saginaw News says the effort is related to what the recall organizer calls Schuette’s “insubordination” of state voters who approved the use of marijuana for medical purposes.

 

Lansing resident Richard Clement submitted the language for the recall petition first to the Lansing city clerk, then to the Midland city clerk before delivering it to the right office (the clerk of the county in which Schuette is registered to vote).

 

Clement wants Schuette recalled because of his harsh opinion against medical marijuana.

 

Schuette’s office says in a statement that the recall effort is backed by “fringe element” aimed at making the attorney general “a poster boy in its fight against local police and prosecutors who are working overtime to do their jobs in the wake of this poorly drafted law.”

Any conceit or agreement on our part that anyone could benefit from reworking all or a portion of our law does not give them free reign to discourse the intent of the framers of this law, the spirit it was written or the will of the citizens of the State of Michigan who voted for it.

 

For them to think there will be no political accountability for their actions is foolish and disingenuous to themselves and their party come November 2012.

He'll soon learn just how 'fringe' the movement is to fire him!

 

His disdain of ordinary regular people is appalling! Just another elitist P.O.S. who thinks he knows what's better for people than the people themselves.
