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.
