https://www.freep.com/story/news/local/michigan/macomb/2018/03/28/jacqueline-ryan-macomb-clerk-deputy/465458002So Spranger has written a letter to Donald Trump asking for help. Good luck with that one.
I swear, Michigan is doing everything they can to emulate a Southern state. They used to be a beacon of something to look up to with excellent schools, good paying union jobs, etc. But they keep voting for Republicans and this Spranger person was ushered in by those who voted for Trump.

(14,505 posts)1. I'm from Washtenaw County. Macomb County is the county that gave us the
"Reagan Democrat."
Before my time (in Michigan). My district had Dave Bonior when I moved here but then we were gerrymandered and now all we get are Republicans.

Michigan Republican governers were never as bad as they are now. That was many years ago.

Contrast that with Rick Snyder and Flint water crisis.

I was very impressed by Milliken, especially his dedication to Michigan's environment. What the heck has happened to Michigan? It's disheartening to say the least.
