Court Okays Granholm Recall Language
Now 950,000 signatures must be collected.

An Omer man will start collecting signatures to recall Gov. Jennifer Granholm now that the petition language has been approved.
The Ingham County Election Commission voted 2-1 Wednesday to OK the language submitted by Paul Piche. A request for comment was left Wednesday morning with the governor's office.
The petition states that the Democratic governor laid off 100 state police "at the same time releasing convicted felons, jeopardizing public safety." Piche needs to collect more than 950,000 signatures in the next 90 days to get it on the ballot.
Piche is upset with the Democratic governor's push to release more inmates eligible for parole. Granholm says Michigan unnecessarily imprisons people longer than most surrounding states, costing the state money it doesn't have.
