A woman scorned did him in

...after Gardner's ex-girlfriend, angry that he hadn't returned all her things, alerted election officials to his activity.

In April 2010, Gardner's ex-girlfriend warned the attorney mediating the property dispute between them that she had been speaking with state election officials about the contributions. She said she had been withholding Gardner's name but threatened to reveal it if she didn't get all of her things back.

Gardner responded directly to her, saying "Knock yourself out. I did nothing wrong and have broken no law ..."

I am also skeptical he did not know about the law. I am just a janitor and even I know the law exists.

Too bad he wasn't George Soros--then he could have donated as much as he wanted (to the Democrats, of course)! Pity that "foreign nationals" like Soros don't also have to obey our "campaign finance" laws.

Bad Billy. He should have known that in most cases, Woman and railroads don't mix. Throw in politics and your screwed.
On the up side. He has still done alot for the state. He and his company have created thousands of jobs, both with the railroad and with on line customers. I don't see to many people in Michigan doing that. We just keep ripping up track and are loosing the ability to market ourselves. Why build in Michigan when the future of railroading looks better in Ohio or Indiana.
