A group that monitors the flow of money in Michigan politics has a new leader. Rich Robinson, former head of the Michigan Campaign Finance Network, has announced that Lansing reporter Craig Mauger is succeeding him.
Mauger has been a reporter with the Michigan Information and Research Service since 2012.
Rich Robinson led the Michigan Campaign Finance Network for 15 years. Robinson spoke with IPR News Radio's David Cassleman about the current state of campaign finance regulation in Michigan.
"We're in a process, much like the federal process, of deregulating campaign finance to a pretty significant degree," says Robinson.
