WOODTV.com & WOOD TV8 - Investigation concerning Governor Granholm's CEO
(Lansing, March 10, 2004, 8:25 p.m.) The Michigan Republican Party is calling for an investigation by the State Ethics Board.

It claims Governor Jennifer Granholm's chief operating officer has a serious conflict of interest.

Michigan Republican Party Chairwoman Betsy Devos announced Wednesday she wants the Ethics Board to take a closer look at Chief Operating Officer Rick Weiner and whether his wife's job is a conflict of interest.

While Devos refused to provide any specific examples, she questions whether the lobbying firm is influencing the Granholm administration.

The Governor called the request for an investigation "utterly ridiculous."

Betsy never provides specific examples of anything, she merely throws these charges out in her never-ending quest to impede any progress for the Granholm administration. She's like the monkey at the zoo who throws her shit against the wall just to see if it will stick.

Betsy obviously needs some new hobbies.
