LANSING, MI - A medical marijuana advocate is again involved in a long-shot attempt at recalling Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette.

A hearing on the recall petition is scheduled for next week in Midland County. If the petition wording is deemed clear by an elections panel, supporters of a recall would have to collect roughly 807,000 voter signatures to qualify for the ballot.

That's where a previous effort to recall Schuette stalled. Supporters of a recall were not able to collect enough signatures to force an election.

Richard Clement Sr., a medical marijuana advocate from Lansing, again is involved in the effort to recall Schuette.

According to language included in the proposed petition, Clement says Schuette has used his office to “disenfranchise” medical marijuana program participants. The Republican attorney general wants to clarify and in some ways alter Michigan’s voter-approved medical marijuana law. Schuette says the current law has "more holes than Swiss cheese."

The petition also cites Schuette’s legal action against Detroit public school board members as a reason for recall. Clement said that could gain the recall effort more supporters this time around.

Schuette’s office reacted to the recall attempt Wednesday.

“Bill Schuette was elected to uphold the law, defend the constitution and protect the public – and that is what he will continue to do,” spokesman Rusty Hills said.
