Hatch Act A Mystery To Some

Fedblog's Tom Shoop reports on three Michigan mail carriers discovered to hold simultaneous local elected government offices:

One of the officials, Tresha Graham-Mikek, a rural letter carrier, has been in office as Bethany Township clerk for 12 years. "I don't know what putting letters in mailboxes has to do with being a township clerk," she told the paper. "I've been a carrier for 23 years and the clerk for 12, and it's never been an issue. But the law is the law, and I understand that."
