Add Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop of Rochester to the list of possible recall targets.
The chairman of the Oakland County Democratic Party says he soon will file paperwork to start a recall attempt against Bishop, the Legislature's top Republican.
The reason?
Bishop may be targeted because he has supported spending cuts and voted to repeal a services tax without replacement revenue attached.
Recalls like this are a waste of time. I've said it before, I'll say it again- no one should be recalled over this, no, not even Mike Bishop, or the pig man wins and nothing ever gets done. True malfeasance of office? OK. But not tax votes.
Now, if we wanted to look at simple obstruction of all the OTHER stuff the Senate has ignored this year... or the fact that the MRP is using recalls purely for partisan purposes and we need to make a point about that...
No, not even then. But it sure is fun to think about.
