Republicans are accusing Democratic Attorney General candidate Mark Totten of inflating his resume.
Specifically they are questioning Totten's experience as a U.S. Attorney. During a teleconference on Thursday, Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson called Totten "a one day a week volunteer." Totten did volunteer in the U.S. Attorney's office while also teaching law school. The former U.S. Attorney for Western Michigan who hired Totten tells the Gongwer News Service that Totten is on "solid ground" calling himself a federal prosecutor.
