State Rep. Paul Scott of Grand Blanc is seeking the Republican nomination for Secretary of State. Listed on his Web site as part of his campaign platform, the aspiring heir to Michigan's Department of State promises to "make it a priority to ensure transgender individuals will not be allowed to change the sex on their driver's license in any circumstance."

Hmm ... our state is in critical condition; Michigan's unemployment is double that of the nation; we are drowning in budget deficits; young college graduates are leaving in droves - and Mr. Scott's priority issue for this statewide election is scapegoating transgender individuals?
