Two Michigan state representatives stripped from House committees

Published



Two Michigan House members were stripped of their committee assignments this week after, respectively, an alleged domestic violence incident and an embattled representative allegedly snuck a handcuff key into jail.

The first case involves allegations from state Rep. Mari Manoogian, D-Birmingham, who stated she was in a “volatile relationship” with someone who committed domestic abuse. Shortly thereafter, Rep. Steve Marino, R-Harrison Township, was stripped of his committees. The Michigan State Police are investigating. The nature of the dispute isn’t clear.
