All signs point to death of controversial campaign finance commission bills

LANSING, MI (MPRN)--   The Legislature’s lame duck session ends Thursday night, and a controversial bill likely won’t make it through. 

Legislation passed by the Senate would take away campaign finance oversight from the Secretary of State and give it to a bipartisan commission.

The bills were waiting for a committee hearing in the House. Republican Representative Aaron Miller chairs the committee. He says his committee won’t take up the bill.

“I think that current process works well. And I think that there were issues with the bills.”

Lawmakers do have the option of discharging the bills to the House floor for a vote – bypassing the committee process.

The only thing a spokesperson for House Republicans would say is – “It’s not on the agenda today”
