Share July 27, 2021, 5:45 PM Rep. Jewell Jones' latest embarrassment -- a $221 campaign expense entry at a Dearborn topless bar -- shows that "he seems intent on digging himself into an ever-deeper hole," an influential Lansing journalist posts Thursday. Jewell Jones last month. (Photos: Facebook) The state's youngest legislator, an Inkster Democrat, "has undermined his credibility at the Capitol" since getting arrested after running off the road in Livingston County three months ago, writes Zach Gorchow, executive editor and publisher at Gongwer News Service. His blog commentary, headlined "The Jewell Jones Fiasco, #HOLLA," is outside the site's paywall. "Jones is merely one in a long line of legislators who have made the huge mistake of getting behind the wheel after drinking," Gorchow notes. But the 26-year-old spirals into "this ongoing mess" by violating bond conditions, missing payments for an alcohol-monitoring tether and submitting a campaign expense claim that "sounds patently absurd."
