Two GOP candidates for governor taking the gloves off early in the campaign. Lieutenant Governor Brian Calley and Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette have been trading barbs the past several weeks. Michigan News Network Lansing Bureau Chief Tim Skubick says both sides have been turning up the heat.
“The rhetoric between Mr. Schuette and Calley has reached the point where it’s kind of personal,” Skubick said. “They’re killed him Shady Schuette and they’ve called him Clown Car Calley. It probably doesn’t get much worse that this, but we’ve got a long way to go before August.”
Calley is chasing Schuette in the polls and wants an investigation of his use of state employees as notaries in private property transactions. Scheutte’s team is accusing Calley of opposing the investigation of the Flint water crisis.
