It's not exactly a surprise: Lansing wants more of your money.
A new law proposed by State House members Steve Marino, Tommy Brann, Julie Calley, Kimberly LaSata, and Jim Lilly would increase filing fees for State House and State Senate by 300%.
Currently, the cost is $100, but if the bill becomes law, Michiganders looking to serve in the legislature would have to pay $400 to get on the ballot in lieu of gathering signatures.
Below is an excerpt of the proposal:
"In lieu of filing a nominating petition, a NONREFUNDABLE filing fee of $100.00 $400.00 may be paid to the county clerk or, for a candidate in a district comprising more than 1 county, to the secretary of state."
