Michigan Bans County Officials from Paid Lobbying
Description
Michigan lawmakers are cracking down on county officials who lobby for pay outside official duties, passing bipartisan House Bill 5506 to shield public service from private financial gain. The bill targets even unregistered lobbying, aiming to prevent elected leaders from using their positions to benefit outside businesses — like a commission chair who helped a gas station chain gain local approvals. Supporters argue this protects public trust and ensures officials prioritize constituents over personal profit, as the bill heads to the Senate for final approval.
