Michigan Supreme Court Justice Robert P. Young Jr., up for re-election to the high court this fall, favors oil and gas companies over the environment, a Michigan Democratic Party video suggests.
“Misinformation and outright lies,” was the Young campaign’s immediate response, according to an Associated Press report.
In a press statement accompanying the video’s release yesterday, party chair Mark Brewer said:
Bob Young is nothing more than a puppet for the oil and gas industry.
His disastrous rulings throughout his career show his priorities lie with Big Oil, not with Michigan and its residents. We need a Supreme Court Justice who will stand up to Big Oil and protect Michigan and that’s not Bob Young.
In her AP article, Kathy Barks Hoffman does a good job of evaluating the Democrats’ case-law-based arguments against Young.
