Michigan State Representative Todd Courser (R-Lapeer) is blaming the East Lansing Mafia for trying to blackmail him because of his political beliefs.
“I see this as the way the establishment machine gets everyone to do what they are told to do and have no one question their authority,” says Courser.
The representative allegedly attempted to cover up an affair he was having with another female state lawmaker by planting a story he had sex with a gay prostitute behind a club. What role – if any – the East Lansing mafia had in this matter remains unclear.
“I don’t know at what point I can get past the guilt and shame I feel,” says Courser, “But first and foremost I have to ask for forgiveness from God and I have been doing that.”
The state legislature is investigating allegations that Courser and Gamrat misused their state staff to cover up their affair.
All of this while the East Lansing Mafia gets a bad name.

If you wanted to grab a book for an in-depth look at mob activity in Michigan, you might not find much. Most Mafia books focus on activity in New York City or Chicago, or solely on the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. But there’s some material. West Bloomfield native Scott Burnstein, 29, has published his first book, “Motor City Mafia: A Century of Organized Crime in Detroit (Images of America).”
