Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Alright Michiganders, now we’re cooking with gas!

Is there a link to an article that spells out how James is kicking Whitmer's fat liberal ass?
Whitmer is the queen of loopholes (among other holes).

Michigan campaign finance law caps individuals’ donations to candidate committees. The max is currently $7,150 for the governor’s race. But Whitmer’s campaign appears to be relying on a caveat: In 1984, former Secretary of State Richard H. Austin confirmed 1983 guidance saying contribution limits didn’t apply to candidates facing recall.
Whitmer’s blockbuster fundraising was fueled by jumbo donations over normal limit
The state normally allows individuals to contribute up to $7,150, but the Whitmer administration is relying on an Attorney General opinion that throws the limit away when an officeholder faces recall.
