I'm not sure why I'm even scrutinizing the "lobbyists interactions" section of these financial disclosures. I already reviewed the lobbyist disclosures earlier this year. Politicians only have to disclosure what lobbyists report and the lobbyists have to provide more detail.

Love the reaction this is getting. I just stumbled across a 1987 story @KathyBHoffman wrote for the Lansing State Journal about Capitol reporters choosing their press badge numbers (that was a thing once?!) that is absolute gold.
Something for fun, courtesy of Capitol archives: the press area on the MI House floor from 1985-86 term. I only recognize one face -- second from left is Roger Weber of @Local4News, a kickass reporter whose work was one of the pieces that made covering the Capitol a goal for me.
From that story: House media passes used to be laminated photos most of the time. John Lindstrom, a former Gongwer News Service reporter now with Crain's Detroit Business magazine, used to tape a picture of Mickey Mouse over his. 😂
@ZachGorchow @ChadLivengood @Local4News this goes hard 😤
@ZachGorchow @Local4News A lot of great names up on the voting board
@ZachGorchow @Local4News Darrell "Chip" Drake is next to Roger, a WDIV producer who worked closely with Gov. Blanchard's nemesis, the late Tom Greene. Maybe AP's Malcolm "Kim" Johnson leaning over?
