Those are but two stories that traditional journalists didn’t uncover but had a significant impact on local government and public policy. … more

By Jarrett Skorup | Courtesy of Mich Cap Con

In June, Michigan Capitol Confidential sent Freedom of Information Act requests seeking financial information from every municipality in the state that operates a golf course. Westland responded that the city requires a $5 fee before it will provide any information. Westland also charged $1 per page for copying costs and $45.61 per hour for the person gathering the information. Those fees are illegal, according to a lawsuit filed today by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy. … more

It is becoming clear that neither students nor taxpayers are getting a good return on their investment. … more
