[NYPOST] A Michigan state politician being busted for driving drunk — in a car with "ELECTED" vanity plates — told cops that arresting him would not "be good," since he controls the department’s budget, a police report shows.Rep. Jewell Jones (D-Inkster) told Michigan state troopers he was a state representative during a combative April 6 encounter after driving his black 2017 Chevy Tahoe into a ditch on Interstate 96 near Fowlerville, according to a police report obtained by the bankrupt, increasingly impoverished, reliably Democrat, Detroit

"If you hit me, it’s going to be very bad for you," Jones, 26, told the troopers as they tried to handcuff him, according to the report. "I’ll call Gov. [Gretchen] Whitmer right now."
Jones reportedly said he would need the troopers’ IDs and badge numbers to call his fellow Democrat, but the officers would not let the state rep get his cellphone.
There’s no indication that Jones tried to call Whitmer, but he told the troopers at another point that their actions were "not going to be good for you" since he oversaw the agency’s budget, according to the report.
"I run y’all budget, bro," Jones said, the Detroit News reported.
