LANSING — A small group of influential state lawmakers has been consuming larger than normal amounts of free food and drink purchased by lobbyists, according to new disclosures.
Lobbyists spent more than $4,000 on meals and beverages for
three individual lawmakers over the first seven months of 2019, the disclosures show. All three lawmakers hold key positions in the state House.
To read our new report on which lawmakers have been receiving the most free meals and how the new numbers compare to past years, follow this link.
Also, earlier this week, we collaborated with the Michigan Public Radio Network to see what campaign finance disclosures tell us about the debate over abortion in Michigan.
