LANSING, MI (WHTC) – The Board of State Canvassers meets tomorrow to review the petition language for a fracking ban ballot proposal. The Committee to Ban Fracking in Michigan cites damage done in other states for seeking its prohibition here, but failed to gather enough petition signatures in an earlier attempt for last fall’s election. Organizers told MIRS News that they wanted to raise half a million dollars to pay for signature collectors, but their latest campaign finance report showed CBFM had just 33 thousand.
