Brewer has got a beef with Drolet's piggy pal

"Brewer has got a beef with Drolet's piggy pal

Michigan Democratic Party Chairman Mark Brewer -- in a fit of pique or boredom, it was hard to tell which -- announced last week that he had filed a campaign finance complaint against Leon Drolet, the Macomb County anti-tax activist and former Republican legislator now running for state Senate.

Brewer's accusation?
That the giant, trailer-mounted pink pig Drolet hauls around to promote his campaign failed to include the 'paid for by ... ' disclaimer required of campaign signs.

Asked about the charge, Drolet said he believes Brewer has a 'very personal vendetta against Mr. Perks,' the pig's given name. Mr. Perks is not a sign; he is a registered trailer, Drolet said."
