Thank you for visiting! You have let us know that what we produce about Michigan politics and government matters to you. More people than ever are reading and listening to what we put on our news site, and the 2022 election was especially momentous. Your support makes all the difference.
As you know, unlike many news websites, we haven’t put up a paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can, but we need to ask for your help. We are editorially independent, meaning we set our own agenda. Our journalism remains truly free from commercial influence or bias. We are not subsidized. We don’t put up paid advertisements. No one edits our Editor. No one steers our opinion.
But The Ballenger Report (TBR) takes time, money and hard work to produce. If everyone who reads or listens to our material — and likes it! — helps to support it, our future would be much more secure.
Interesting read. And to think, they could have nominated Patrick Miles, Jr. for AG and didn’t. Well, in 2022 they will have a chance for a re-do.
Couldn’t agree with you more. She has thoroughly politicized the office of Attorney General. The Lyon matter is a travesty of justice. Dennis Cawthorne
Too bad the Republican Party moss backs have so politicized the AG’s office from their occupancy in prior years, that the general public does not trust the people who sit in the chair of the AG, and the days of impartial and accurate dispensing of legal advice, and prosecutions, is now gone. Perhaps Dennis can help bring some independence again to the AG’s office, and Patrick Miles might be the person to do so!! A lot of daylight is needed to shine on the activities of the AG’s office. Ms. Nessel wields a hatchet, and it does more damage than good.
Frank Kelly knew when the apply subtle pressure, and when to expose wrongdoing on the front pages of the papers.
Dana Nessel is the embodiment of every nasty lawyer joke that I’ve ever heard.
