$20 Million in grants given to ex-GOP fundraiser who raised millions for state reps. Problem is, nobody is taking credit for sliding these millions into Billion dollar bills passed by the republican legislature. Hmmmmm

Weird. Every grant is usually followed by who asked for it and what it's for. Not these. 20 million dollars to put sewer and pipelines down in land owned by a GOP chair. Mystery sponsors with mystery reasons for doing it. But it was done. To the tune of 20 million dollars.

In the last two years, Michigan lawmakers slipped $20 million in grants for water and sewer lines into billion-dollar spending bills.

Both times, first in 2017 and again on the last day of the Legislature's lame duck session in December 2018, little documentation accompanied the grants after they were approved by lawmakers.

Unlike other “special grant proposal” forms filled out by lawmakers, the names of the sponsors of the utility line grants are blank and there’s no indication why the funding is necessary.

Those details may be missing. But the grants’ main beneficiary is known: Bobby Schostak, former chairman of the Michigan Republican Party, who has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for his party and its political candidates.

Fuck these fucking fucks.

If raising hundreds of thousands is rewarded by billion dollar grants, there's only one thing to do.

Let's start raising hundreds of thousands and split the grant!

Sadly, nobody cares.  Politicians know it and act accordingly.  Even if this became a real issue and reported on in the main stream media, it would be replaced withing 24 hours by a smug teenager mocking a gun rights advocate who shot 24 children and raped a teenage girl who had sex with a priest that counseled Kim Kardashian when she had PSD from attending the royal wedding and found out those two royal chicks had a beef because one of them sent Kim Jung Un a love letter because he liked a polar bear that Kanye adopted on the advise of Harvey Weinstein after he made a movie with Tom Cruise who was listening to Ann Coulter because he found out she gave Al Franken a blow job.

I'm sorry Wags, what was your beef again?

LOL

Here's the deal and why I'm pissed at you. You're so fucking right. I mean you throw 20 million as a favor to a guy here, you throw 20 million to a guy as a favor there, and pretty soon it's real fucking money we're talking about.

Meantime, kids are still filling up their tubs with bottled water in Flint. These fuckers are getting sewage and pipelines put down as a pet project for their private property they will turn into a nice development and sell.

fuck, sometimes I don't understand why we all don't have torches and pitchforks ready to kill some of these fuckers. (I do, but had to say it for dramatic effect)

Why aren't we investigating this and making it as public as possible?

We're number one, or number 50. Depends on where you start.

For crissake DWags, you think its coincedental that dozens of MI GOP major donors were running past reporters, some covering their faces in the closing days of the 2016 campaing in MI to meet with Trump and give major donations?

You thinks its coincedental the GOP fights campaign finance reform and fights to keep donors to 501c2's anonymous?

We are entering into a new Gilded Age with dozens of newly appointed Federal Judges ready to protect their deep pocket benefactors
