Michigan lawsuit against some nonprofits over campaign finance

Complaints were filed last week against a number of nonprofits in Michigan, alleging that they violated the state’s campaign finance laws.

The Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, which is a group that was once run by a Trump-appointed US Attorney General, filed the complaints Wednesday against social welfare organizations that fund progressive initiatives. They claim donors to Michigan abortion and payday loan petitions violated the law.

Bridge Michigan reports that the ballot measures in question include the Reproductive Freedom for All proposal that would enshrine reproductive rights in the state Constitution, and Michiganders for Fair Lending, which would put a cap on payday loans.

Almost 90% of contributions to ballot measures in the state last year came from nonprofits that are not required to disclose their donors.
