SPRINGFIELD - The daughter of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's chief legislative nemesis asked the state's high court Friday to strip the governor of his powers. Relying on an obscure court rule, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan called on the high court to determine if Blagojevich is capable of carrying out his duties in the wake of a federal criminal complaint that accuses the Chicago Democrat of corruption.
HARTFORD -- Connecticut's Supreme Court is expected to rule today on Gov. John G. Rowland's efforts to avoid testifying before the legislature's impeachment committee. But several members of the committee said Thursday they believe that, even if Rowland loses in the state's highest court, the governor may file an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court or another lawsuit. Rowland's lawyers are claiming that the legislative subpoena to Rowland violates the separation of powers clause of the state constitution and that no governor or president has ever been called to testify in any impeachment hearing. But a lower court judge ruled against that claim last week.
Senate President Earl Ray Tomblin said Monday he plans to serve as acting governor until 2012, unless West Virginians express a strong desire to hold an election sooner. In his first remarks since Gov. Joe Manchin won the U.S. Senate race, putting him in position to serve as acting governor, Tomblin also said he would not preside over the Senate while he acts as governor. Throughout my tenure as Senate president, I have always been mindful of this responsibility, said Tomblin, D-Logan. He added, I have spent countless days examining the work and tasks of the Governors Office. But, in the hours following his 18-minute press conference to a packed room at the Capitol on Monday morning, it became clear that the next few months might be anything but the clear and organized transfer of power...

Article 5 of the state constitution says the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government are "separate and distinct, so that neither shall exercise the powers properly belonging to either of the others, nor shall any person exercise the powers of more than one of them at the same time. However, Article 7, Section 16 seems to contradict Article 5, because it specifies that when a governorship becomes vacant, "the president of the Senate shall act as governor until the vacancy is filled." Therefore, one person evidently is to exercise both legislative and executive powers.

LANSING, Mich., Dec. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As a supporter of many items on Gov. Rick Snyder's agenda to reinvent Michigan, the Michigan Chamber of Commerce today expressed disappointment with his veto of House Bill 4326. The bill would have made Michigan more competitive with surrounding Great Lakes states by greatly improving Michigan's permitting and rule-making processes. HB 4326, sponsored by Rep. Jeff Farrington (R-Utica), would have prohibited a state agency from promulgating or adopting rules more stringent than federal standards without legislative approval. This reform was prospective in nature and contained the added protection that in unique circumstances more stringent requirements would be acceptable when contained in a state statute or invoked by the governor through eme...
