Michigan SOS must release documents on deal with pro-Whitmer group, court says

Michigan SOS must release documents on deal with pro-Whitmer group, court says: "The court's ruling is a positive step to help tear the curtain back on the secret deal between Benson and Whitmer," said Tori Sachs, the former executive director of Michigan Rising Action. "Michiganders deserve the truth." Among the documents that will have to be produced are communications between the law firm that represented Build a Better Michigan and Secretary of State personnel. The Secretary of State's office had argued that those messages fell within a disclosure exemption that protects "frank communication" between officials within public agencies. The communications don't fit the exemption because they weren't between or within public bodies, Murray wrote.
