Teabaggers hate spending taxpayer money on anything, except covering up their extramarital affairs..




(Detroit Free Press) LANSING — The Business Office for the House of Representatives has found both misconduct and misuse of taxpayer resources by state Reps. Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat, two lawmakers caught up in a sex scandal and clumsy attempt at a coverup.

House Business Office director Tim Bowlin said he's turned over the report to an outside counsel for an independent review.

"Asking an outside counsel to review the report is a normal process to protect the privacy and confidentiality of affected individuals and ensure compliance with Human Resources regulations. The findings will be made public once the legal review has been completed," Bowlin said in a statement.

Speaker of the House Kevin Cotter, R-Mt. Pleasant, who received a copy of the report Monday morning, said: "there is troubling evidence of misconduct. I am directing my legal counsel to review the preliminary findings for the purposes of any further disciplinary actions."

Contents of the report aren't expected to be released for a few days. ................(more)
