  • Michigan Supreme Court's September 3rd hearing on judicial disqualification standards was covered in the Battle Creek Enquirer , Detroit News , Lansing State Journal , and Traverse City Record Eagle. The AP article describes discussion at the hearing about establishing rules for justices to step aside in cases that involve campaign donors, a measure strongly endorsed by LWVMI. LWVMI Board Member Pat Donath testified at the hearing and is quoted in the article. For details see the Detroit News article and LWVMI Vice President Katherine Barnhart's response.  The other newspapers printed similar letters to the editor from LWVMI President Jessica Reiser, LWVMI Board Member Anne Magoun, and Lansing Area LWV President Kathy Esselman. 09/09
