Michigan Utilities Sue Over New Ballot Measure Restricting Political Donations
Major Michigan utilities Consumers Energy and DTE have filed a lawsuit against a newly passed ballot measure that restricts political donations from utility companies and state contractors.
Michigan voters overwhelmingly approved a ballot measure, known as Proposal 2, designed to ban political contributions from utilities, state contractors, and high-level employees while tightening ad disclosures. In response, major utilities Consumers Energy and DTE filed a lawsuit arguing the measure violates their First and 14th Amendment rights, claiming it improperly excludes them from participating in the political process.
