Tracking a local Michigan politician gone wild: Below you will find all of the articles, news, and radio broadcasts of a person who was just way over her head and ill equipped for her job. Worse yet she got bad advice and wouldn't accept help from those who truly wanted to help her.

This is the sad story of Karen A. Spranger who was elected as County Clerk/Register of Deeds in Michigan's 3rd largest county.
