Berrien County Sheriff Paul Bailey is at the center of a controversy involving the Michigan Campaign Finance Act.
It’s believed Sheriff Bailey used his county email in an exchange with a staffer for Kim LaSata’s campaign for the State Senate last fall.
The emails were all related to an endorsement letter to the editor for the Herald-Palladium.
In the email Sheriff Bailey agreed to sign on to the endorsement and asked to have it sent to the newspaper.
Doing so on his county email is a possible violation of the law.
