This blog is for reporting about political events and news taking place in Oakland county, Michigan. The views expressed here are not the views of the Oakland County Democratic Party.
In looking through L. Brooks Patterson's campaign finance report, I found two interesting items. One, a $12,000 payment to DC Navigators, a Washington lobbying firm, presumably a payment for the services of Trent Wisecup, who is an active lobbyist. It begs the question, why is a lobbyist running the campaign? The second entry is a donation for $25,000 from the Michigan Council of Union Carpenters. In total they have donated almost $35,000 to Patterson, almost 20% of Patterson's total raised to date. What will they want in return for such big money?
