LANSING (WKZO-AM) — Disgraced former state representative Todd Courser says he wants his legal fees reimbursed if he follows through with a lawsuit against the state.
Courser said he’s sure indemnification laws will be broken if the suit reaches a courtroom.
“Even though the state has a state law that requires the state to indemnify me, the attorney general, of course, chooses, which state officials to indemnify and which ones he doesn’t,” Courser said.
He’s also told Michael Patrick Shiels on Thursday he’s anticipating victory.
“When I’m cleared of all the charges, we’ll have to look at reimbursement from the state for the malicious prosecution and all the other things they’ve done,” Courser said.
Courser and Cindy Gamrat filed a notice saying they may attempt to recover $500,000 in lost wages and damages related to his resignation and her expulsion last year.
Both were accused of using taxpayer resources to cover up their affair. They’ve since been charged with felonies and are free on personal recognizance bonds.
