BAD AXE (WJRT) - (10/18/11) - The Republican Party of a Mid-Michigan county took an unusual step and kicked a state legislator out of the organization.

Kurt Damrow was elected last November in a Republican tidal wave. Since then, his time in office, nearly 10 months, has been shrouded in controversy, and now his home county's Republican Party says it has had enough.

By an 18-2 vote, the executive committee voted Damrow out of the Huron County Republican Party. Various reasons were cited, including failing to comply with campaign finance laws, giving inaccurate information about a personal protection order filed against Damrow and using his position to gain support in his wife's custody dispute.

Schwetzer says Huron County Republicans decided to take action after the latest controversy. That's when Damrow filed a criminal complaint against the Huron County Sheriff Kelly Hanson, also a Republican.

1. I shouldn't think that any of those things would merit getting kicked out of the Republican

party. -Most of those 'infractions' were probably already known, but he got elected anyway.

2. Mr. Damrow needed o go

Mr. Damrow DID deceive folks prior to the election. All the
infractions occurred since he took office. It began with his
wife having a custody battle with her ex. Mr. Damrow lied in
court (fact reported in Huron Daily Tribune). He threatened 2
women who had a face-book page called Huron County Kids (also
a fact reported in the news). He claimed that his house was
robbed when he was asked for receipts regarding his campaign
funds - although no break-in was ever reported.
He received a speeding ticket and 'forgot' to pay it although
he had received notices in the mail. 
As the 84th District State Rep he made unsubstantiated charges
against the Huron County Sheriff, County Commissioners and
Judges. These were investigated by the Michigan State Police
and all proved to be false. He is now looking at lawsuits
coming his way for filing 'false police reports'.

There are many more items that I could mention but the above
is enough. The Huron County Republicans deserve credit for
having the nerve to do what they did. (and I'm a Democrat)
