Macomb Co. Democrats prepare to flex their muscles

HARRISON TOWNSHIP - County residents who have lost their jobs may get job-training opportunities this year. And County Road Commissioner Fran Gillett may join their ranks.

Those are a couple of predicted ramifications of the Democrats' resounding victory in Tuesday's general election that pushed their majority from a tenuous 14-12 to a powerful 17-9.

There is also some thought that the Democrats will push for a county executive position, similar to those in Wayne and Oakland counties.

Sabaugh said Gillett, a former Republican member of the county board, may get dumped by the Democrats because of her close association with U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Harrison Township, who headed the Bush re-election campaign in Michigan.

Don't worry Fran. I'm sure Candice will find a plumb tax-payer funded "job" for you to hold when you get fired. Well, that is, IF she isn't sent to jail for her part in the bribery/extortion scandal that she created along with Tom DeLay.

1. The Macomb County Dems may become the example for the....

National Party!

They are going to make those Rethugs pay for backing Bush!

2. Thanks, Lefty

I am a former Michigander, and I know that Candice is particularly odious. This is good news!
