Did Romney Supporters Take Down Santorum Signs?


Shelby Township MI

Not only did they remove Santorum’s signs, but it appears they were paid to do it. Ro
mney’s tactics are dividing the party so that no one will want to support him if he wins:
***CONTENT WARNING: LANGUAGE***

Update:  We have received numerous responses advising us that one of the workers for Mitt Romney's camp in this video is  Dennis Lennox a former Cheboygan Michigan Drain Commissioner who was forced to resign from office. 

It is unknown what role if any Mr. Lennox played in the Santorum sign removal but it appears Mr. Lennox has been in trouble before.  According to Central Michigan Life, they report  Dennis Lennox has criminal complaint filed against him in Cheboygan County back in early 2010.

 Here is a snippet from the paper: "Cheboygan County Prosecuting Attorney Daryl Vizina has filed a misdemeanor criminal complaint against Topinabee senior and Cheboygan County Drain Commissioner Dennis Lennox II.

According to a press release from Vizina’s office, Lennox sent 250 Christmas cards using Cheboygan County postage, which is paid for by the county. Many of the card included what the release called “campaign literature” relating to Lennox’s campaign for the 105th District seat in the Michigan State House.

The press release said Lennox had been asked to reimburse the county for the cost of the postage, but refused. Lennox later agreed to pay the postage fees, after a criminal investigation had begun. If Lennox is convicted of the allegations, the maximum penalty is a $1,000 fine and a year of incarceration.

“If this was any other citizen we would charge him, so we want to be consistent,” Vizina said. “If a employee at Subway was taking company resources for themselves, we would charge them.”"

The Not So Lame Media also received this e-mail from a reader:


I'd recommend checking out the Cheboygan County Board of Commissioners meeting from April 26, 2011 in which the Commissioners subpoenaed Dennis to appear. Given that the meeting began at 9:30am and ended at 12:30pm, I daresay that Dennis's testimony took up at least two hours of time. You can check the minutes at the link below:

Cheboygan County 4-26-2011 Meeting Minutes


While the minutes are 18 pages in length, it is well worth the read to understand the frustration that the Commissioners have towards Dennis, and see why they were ready to remove him. One Commissioner tells Dennis that "You, as a conservative taxpayer and drain commissioner feel that you can just spend this money to buy whatever that meets your whim with no consideration to those people." 
 
How can a public official can request per diem expenses for meeting with constituents (pages 11-13), and with posting an unapproved fee schedule on his office door (13-14).
