A fake Twitter account has been made for Michigan Budget Director John Nixon. The FakeJohnNixon account started last week and has already posted almost 150 tweets. The Associated Press reports:
The fake account notes that Nixon is Michigan's highest-paid state employee and is consuming Michigan's economy "one big gargantuan bite at a time." It adds, "Just call me Budget Crunch." A spokesman for Nixon says the budget director "has a great sense of humor" and realizes the tweets aren't to be taken seriously. There's also a FakeRickSnyder Twitter account on Gov. Rick Snyder with fewer posts.
