Paul Massaron of the Wayne State Board of Governors is quoted in a story about Democratic and GOP party conventions in Michigan last weekend. "Had the top of the ticket not won, I would not have been elected," he told Democrats assembled at Detroit's Cobo Center. Delegates from the two parties nominated candidates for the Michigan Supreme Court, state board of education and university board positions. The nominees for the WSU Board of Governors are Democrats Annetta Miller, an incumbent, and Tina Abbott, secretary-treasurer for the Michigan AFL-CIO. Republican candidates are Paul Hillegonds, an incumbent, and Susan Licata Haroutunian. The AP ran a separate story on the nominations, which was picked up by Booth Newspapers.
