A *big league* thanks to Craig Mauger of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, and Joel Kurth from Bridge Magazine, for mentioning the role West Michigan Politics played in this crazy National Popular Vote story!

Also, thanks to Speaker Tom Leonard, who confirmed he will NEVER let National Popular Vote see the House floor!

"The trips first came to light in September when a conservative blogger wrote that two GOP lawmakers, the primary bill sponsors ‒ Kelly and Sen. David Hildenbrand, of Lowell ‒ may have attended the seminar in Hawaii...

Brandon Hall, the conservative blogger, alleged on his website West Michigan Politics that Hildenbrand, from Lowell, and Kelly, from Saginaw, were “believed to have attended” an August trip to Hawaii before sponsoring the legislation in September.

“Republican grassroots activists strongly oppose the legislation, as many believe in the Electoral College system our Constitution prescribes,” Hall warned at the time...

Multiple sources...confirmed that Rep. Jim Lilly, of Macatawa, attended; he declined comment for this report.  

Then there is Hildenbrand, who along with Kelly was named by the blogger back in September. Approached inside Senate offices in Lansing, Hildenbrand said he wouldn’t respond to a story from a blogger, a reference to the West Michigan Politics report."
