My Friday Left of Lansing Short is on Democratic State Representative Dylan Wegela’s efforts on stopping the dark money influence DTE and Consumers Energy uses in Lansing.
Rep. Wegela outlined how he intends to do that by introducing a bill preventing DTE and Consumers Energy from using dark money PAC’s, which will help ensure that our politicians put their constituents’ concerns over the concerns of these utilities which are struggling to provide reliable and affordable energy.
Let’s hope every progressive in Lansing joins Rep. Wegela’s fight!
