Hyperactive! Can I get some addictive prescription pills for that?
Friends,
Below is the text of a brief article appearing in yesterday's MIRS News, a Lansing-based newsletter read by state lawmakers, lobbyists, department heads, media and those who closely follow state government.

Drolet Asks For Recall Circulators In 85th
Former House member and current anti-tax activist Leon DROLET isn't resting on his laurels over the short-term victory he experienced last week when Democrats failed to crank up enough support for passing a tax hike in the House.
Whether it's factual or not, Drolet's threat to recall lawmakers who support a tax increase was given part of the credit (or blame) for keeping the potential tax hike on ice. But the hyperactive Macomb County Republican continues to work at applying the pressure.
On behalf of the Michigan Taxpayers Alliance (MTA), which Drolet heads, an ad was posted in the Owosso Argus Press asking for recall petition circulators. Petition gatherers in a recall election are required to live within the district where the recall is taking place. Drolet is aiming his recall tactics at Rep. Richard BALL (R-Bennington Twp.). Owosso is the largest city in Ball's Shiawassee County district.
According to Drolet, he chose Ball as his initial target because Ball is on record supporting a tax increase.
"Between 12 and 16 people responded to the ad," Drolet said. "We said they'd need to be ready by June 10, but that timeline may be pushed back."
