UNDATED (WHTC) - On Friday, Secretary of State Ruth Johnson will kayak from Mackinac Island to the mainland. The reason? Johnson said, “We simply don’t have enough money to really advertise our convenient online services so we had to be creative.” Weather permitting, Johnson, using her own 18-foot kayak to cross the straits, should complete the seven mile trip in about three hours. Earlier in May, she rode a Harley-Davidson to promote motorcycle safety. You can track her progress on Facebook at facebook.com/MichiganSOS
