A group of Lansing activists want to enact a city anti-corruption ordinance. Current State talks to political activist Walt Sorg about what triggered this effort.
A long-time, Lansing area political activist wants to put more teeth into preventing political corruption on the local level.
Walt Sorg is chairman of the non-profit Lansing Citizens for Ethics Reform. Last week, it submitted to the city clerk more than 6,000 ballot signatures supporting a city anti-corruption ordinance.
The organization’s hope is to enact stricter city regulations involving contributions to mayoral and city council campaigns, lobbying and transparency to prevent corruption. Current State talks to Sorg about what triggered this effort.
