You may have noticed, in this week's issue of Between The Lines, mention of a 2010 Michigan Secretary of State candidate. You may have seen the name Paul Scott, and you may have read that he is a state representative from Grand Blanc.

But what we hope is abundantly clear from our (excessive? Abusive? Deserved?) coverage of this particular politician are the many, many reasons why we cannot allow someone like Rep. Scott into a high-ranking political office in our state. Never mind that he is already a representative. If Scott has his way, he'll see to it that transgender Michiganders receive no recognition from the department he hopes to govern.
