Excellent news! Thanks for the update.
Representative Hoogendyk:
You are fantastic. I think I have said this before. Your blog is the bomb. It keeps me up on what is going on with the kids in Lansing.
Please Please run for Governor again and this time don't let the Republicans push you out of the way. You are the man for the job.
Did I say we love you in our house and you aren't even our Rep.
