Michigan's Secretary of State is proposing an end to secretly funded political ads.
Republican Ruth Johnson proposed a new rule today to require sponsors of so-called "issue ads" to file reports with the state and meet current campaign finance requirements.
Currently, ads only urging voters to support or oppose a specific candidate are subject to disclosure requirements.
Issue ads define a candidate's suitability for office without directly urging a "yes" or a "no" vote, and they're exempt from disclosure requirements.
Chris Gautz, Capitol Correspondent for Crain's Detroit Business, joined us today.
