GRAND BLANC -- Rep. Paul Scott conceded to a recall Tuesday night before results had completely been reported.
Rep. Scott told NBC25, “We’re taking on a monster. The defenders of the status quo aren’t going to go away easily. We almost took them down tonight, but that fight will continue tomorrow.”
The Associated Press reports Rep. Scott lost by 232 votes, and that while a recount has not been ruled out, the Grand Blanc representative is accepting the loss.
The Citizens Against Government Overreach, a group that helped spearhead the recall efforts, says Rep. Scott needed to be ousted because of his support of the education cuts and pension taxes.
