New Bill Would Shed Light On Asset Forfeiture In Michigan


Bipartisan House bill would bring transparency to law enforcement seizing property without criminal charges

By Jarrett Skorup | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

“Forfeiture allows law enforcement to take property without even charging people, never mind convicting them, of a crime,” said Lee McGrath, legislative council at IJ. “Worse, Michigan’s current laws give police officers and prosecutors incentives because forfeiture proceeds go to supplement their budgets. And law enforcement gets to choose which crimes it pursues and cases it prosecutes.” … more

State Workers Earn $5.8 Billion More in Benefits Than Private Sector Employees

New study shows that while the state’s population, GDP and income fell, government worker benefits skyrocketed

By Jarrett Skorup | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

Larger demands from pension funds and ever-increasing insurance premiums have been blamed for local government fiscal stress, but few citizens realize how big the gap truly is between private and public sector workers.

Barber Bill Barely Takes Anything Off The Top

Wholesale changes — not minor trims — to business regulations needed in Michigan

By Manny Lopez | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

Hopes were raised briefly last week when a bill was introduced by Sen. Hoon-Yung Hopgood, D-Taylor, that would modify the hours required for barbers to get into the business. Unfortunately, Senate Bill 612 only trims the requirement to 1,800 hours from 2,000. That’s like shaving off one sideburn. … more
