Well-known Democrat and union activist Jack LaSalle files complaint against one of his own – State Rep. Sarah Cambensy: It’s surprising that two top Democratic leaders would fight over about six grand – or maybe they did not expect their money dispute to leak

(Marquette, Michigan) – Just when you thought the fight over the 109th was over – it erupts.
The battle lines are being drawn between two well-known democrats – all over about six grand.

At issue is money that consummate Democrat Jack LaSalle’s company says it is owed by the campaign of Sara Cambensy – who was elected to the 109th Michigan House Seat in a special election last November.

LaSalle Enterprise Services, a limited liability company (LLC) filed the complaint in district court against State Rep. Sara Cambensy.

The “summons and complaint” was filed on Dec. 28, 2017 in Marquette County 96th District Court.

LaSalle is perhaps best known as a decades-long field representative for the Michigan Building and Construction Trades Council. He started in January of 1986.

The complaint states LaSalle’s company is in the business of “providing election services to prospective candidates for political office.” The company is owned by LaSalle and his wife, Jeanne I. LaSalle. The company states it provided “campaign and election services” to Cambensy during the “primary election and General Election in 2017.”
The bill to Cambensy is $5,690 plus “interest, costs, and reasonable attorney’s fees.”

Below is a little background on both Dems

P.S. – While unrelated – this makes us wonder if some who provide “elections services” in the U.P. also include dirt files on other politicians like we’ve heard in the infamous Trump dossier. The answer – of course its a famous part of political intrigue in America.

Sarah Cambensy was elected – by some as a breath of fresh air – with few obligations to the powerful.
Her victory – and entire race – was tempered by the reason for the special election.
