LANSING (WKZO-AM/FM) — Disgraced former state representative Cindy Gamrat of Plainwell is alleging wiretapping, stalking and defamation in a lawsuit against the Michigan House, former House Speaker Kevin Cotter and her soon-to-be former husband.
Gamrat is also suing for back pay.
The defendants include Cotter and his chief of staff and general counsel, ex-staffers Keith Allard and Ben Graham, Joe Gamrat and others.
Fellow Republican and former lover Todd Courser previously filed a suit with a similar list of defendants, but later filed a motion to dismiss over failing health. Both conservative Christians were accused of using taxpayer resources to cover up their sexual relationship.
That scandal led to Courser tendering his resignation in late 2015. Gamrat was thrown out of office an hour after Courser stepped down.
