Lansing election controversy erupts over charter revision mailers
LANSING, Mich — Controversy has erupted in Lansing about a month before the General Election over informational mailers sent by the Charter Revision Commission.
The dispute centers on mailers sent to about 21,000 Lansing households that some city officials claim violate state campaign finance laws.
"I received it probably about 5 or 6 days ago in the mail," one resident said.
Some city council members argue that the language in the mailers crosses the line from informational to promotional.
