First-term Michigan Representatives Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat

Well, in actuality, it's not much of a surprise.

Chad Livengood of the Detroit News writes that the head of the House Business Office said Monday he has found preliminary evidence of “both misconduct and the misuse of taxpayer resources” by state Reps. Todd Courser and Cindy Gamrat.

“After completing the investigation, we have preliminary findings of both misconduct and the misuse of taxpayer resources by both representatives,” Tim Bowlin, director of the House Business Office, said in a statement, according to the report in the News. “The Business Office has completed a draft report on these findings and has submitted it to outside counsel for an independent review.”

The finding were turned over to House Speaker Kevin Cotter, who issued a statement:

“I have received a draft report to review, and there is troubling evidence of misconduct. I am directing my legal counsel to review the preliminary findings for the purposes of any further disciplinary actions."

Lawmakers in Lansing want the two conservative Republicans to go away. It's a particular embarrassment to the Republican party.
