Michigan newspapers sued the state’s redistricting commission, demanding that it release a recording of a closed meeting and make public two memos that panel members discussed during the meeting.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday by The Detroit News, the Detroit Free Press, The Center for Michigan Inc./Bridge Michigan and the Michigan Press Association. It seeks judgments from the Michigan Supreme Court that the 13-member independent citizens panel violated the state constitution by conducting business in a nonpublic meeting, must do all future business in open meetings and release all materials used to develop redistricting plans — including eight other memos.
