    Michigan Senate Passes Campaign Reform

    Not through the House, but...

    Passed 20 to 18 in the Senate on November 14, 2013, to increase the maximum campaign contributions allowed by state election law, index these to inflation, and require additional finance reports from candidates. The bill would also establish that third party "issue ads" that do not expressly advocate the election of a candidate or issue need not include a disclosure of who paid for the ad, and allow the Republican and Democratic caucuses in the legislature to raise and spend money promoting their preferred candidates in primary elections.
    See that last part? That's the party protecting its own, right there.

    Nick Sundquist is highly opposed to this bill. He has come out strongly in the past couple days against his primary challenger Geoff Hansen who voted yes.
