The Michigan Bureau of Elections sent Carone 44 late filing fee notices since she ran for state Senate and lieutenant governor in 2022. She also violated state law by failing to file many of her campaign finance reports in a timely fashion.

(21,788 posts)1. These crooks treat campaign funds like their own vacation fund
The rules around meals and leasing vehicles are lax, so crooks like this woman are just going out to eat at nice restaurants twice a day and billing it to their campaign. I'm sure Caroines was living it up for a while and then when the paperwork came due she realized her campaign couldn't afford all she spent.
