When US Supreme Court decisions start dropping soon, watch out for this Michigan case. A ruling for the plaintiff could trigger class‑action suits from former homeowners, exposing counties to hundreds of millions in potential repayments.

💸Several gubernatorial candidates have pledged to significantly cut or even eliminate the income tax, with few, if any, details on how they would replace the lost revenue. Before voting, people should understand which services are funded by income taxes https://t.co/11qZDq77pw

Article II-Elections of the MI Constitution was historically a sleepy section. In recent years, it's taken center stage. @NewsGuyGordon1 & Eric Lupher look at Michigan’s voting rights landscape, “Promote the Vote”, same-day registration, drop boxes, and other voter protections.

"In Lansing, it’s hard to find a major policy debate that hasn’t at some point been touched by the Citizens Research Council of MI. For 110 years, they’ve been doing work behind the scenes, digging into the data that shapes how decisions are made." @wzmq19 https://t.co/stKENkkdrn
