This story says so much abt Lansing - and who really runs the show. Once upon a time lobbyists would get drugs for politicians trying to curry favor. Now it’s the legislators - the Speaker in fact - fetching drugs for the lobbyists! What a world!

JUST IN: Rep. Ann Bollin says House/Senate/Whitmer's office have come to an agreement on election rules proposal, including allowing for pre-processing of absentee ballots for the coming midterm election.
Michigan clerks have been advocating for pre-processing for awhile now.
NEW: Gov. Whitmer signs legislation to increase funding for Secondary Road Patrol program by $5M per year, from $10M to $15M, and to provide an earmarked funding source for the program annually.
$15M of liquor revenue will now fund the program each year.
