West Michigan woman says employer discriminated because she was divorcing

A former non-profit employee said she was fired from her job because she was divorcing and didn't attempt to reconcile her marriage. Article here.The employee's supervisors at the Christian non-profit gave her paid time off to work on her marriage, and attempted to "help" the situation with recommended counseling, among other things.

She's suing in Federal District court because she contends she was treated differently than men have been under similar circumstances at her workplace.

Justin Amash (and other Tea Party legislators) could be facing challengers

Justin Amash (and other tea party leaders) may be facing challenges from the GOP. This is because, well, they're not like the GOP enough to make the GOP leaders happy. Who cares about whether they're making voters happy and doing what they were elected to do? Read the article here. My take on this (from the local perspective): Amash has firm support in the district. He needs to raise support from other areas to win, since the Ellis influence would be strong.
