Topics getting the most attention in East Lansing public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Charter Amendment Campaign Finance
East Lansing just got new campaign finance reports showing how much groups spent for and against the charter amendment that would move the city’s election years. It’s a quick transparency check before you vote — and a reminder that ballot questions can draw real money.
