Larry Inman (R) has been indicted by a federal grand jury, “accused of trying to sell his vote on a measure to repeal Michigan’s prevailing wage law,” the Detroit Free Press reports. “Inman is charged with attempted extortion, soliciting a bribe, and making a false statement to the FBI and could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted on the most serious charge.” The Washington Post reports one of Inman’s text messages, which allegedly offered up a lawmaker’s vote in exchange for cash, ended with a famous five-word phrase: “We never had this discussion.”
