TRAVERSE CITY — Area Democrats want to know why Gov. Rick Snyder used his staff and local county governments to spread invitations to a Grand Traverse County Republican Party fundraiser.

Greg Andrews, the governor's Marquette-based northern Michigan representative, sent an email to local governments that encouraged officials to attend the Governor's Breakfast on Saturday during the National Cherry Festival.

The breakfast is a traditional event that acts as a fundraiser for the local Democratic or Republican party before the Cherry Royale Parade.

The email was referred to Prosecutor Alan Schneider, who said he won't take action.

1. There you go

The email was referred to Prosecutor Alan Schneider, who said he won't take action.


that pretty much sums up the state of the union. We're either going to have enforce the law ourselves, or get used to living in a Banana Republic.

3. Recall them both.

More work for the cleanup squad.

4. Recall? You mean maybe get some satisfaction years from now?

But probably not?

OK

6. No, I Mean Now

Snyder recall already underway.

8. We're working on Snyder

Nothing will happen regarding the local DA tho'. Grand Traverse county is RED. He ran unopposed. The SOS of MI is also a Rethug so there's no justice to be found there.

On the bright side, Snyder will be walking in the huge parade in about a half an hour here. We've arranged for there to be special friends of his, giving a special ehllo, throughout the parade route. I don't think he'll enjoy his stay in Traverse City. :)

or the proprieties, or the people.

He's a bottom-line "business" fanatic.

5. And your alternative to that is?

If recall is the method people can use to remove a Governor, then that's the method. What's your plan?

10. There's a lot of stuff that it's stupid to talk on DU about, especially to hostiles
