Michael Hughes
Apparent hoax. Listed as Mayor of Rockford, IL. He is not; Doug Scott is and seemingly has been for a while. Article mentions he interned for Congresswoman Janine Green. No one by that name has served in Congress. Author User:Wikiweirdia previously warned over adding nonsense to wikipedia. Article discovered by looking at history of author for Janine green article, which is up for vfd as possible hoax. Michael Ward 02:44, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)
