Michigan: State Representative facing recall threats over affair/bizarre,botched cover-up plan

An all-time great attempted cover-up scandal is now resulting in a possible recall effort. Michigan State Representative Todd Courser (R) is facing the threats after it was revealed that he tried to cover-up an affair with fellow State Representative Cindy Gamrat (R) by asking an aide to send out emails accusing him of paying for sex with a man. He apparently hoped that when this story proved false, his affair with Gamrat would be overlooked.

The potential petitioner, Randy St. Laurent, ran for the State House in 2008. Petitioner would need 7-8,000 signatures. And I think we all should look forward to the clarity hearing on this one.
