Michigan Capitol Floor Rug Drama Unfolds In State Office
A threadbare carpet once in the governor’s office became a political flap as the 74 yard wool rug moved from state control to Michigan State University. State Controller James W.

Governor Mennen Williams and Senator L Harvey Lodge pressed to halt the purchase amid accusations of waste. The rug’s journey highlights tensions over fiscal policing and public accountability in Michigan.
