A closer look at Kalamazoo’s healthcare proposal, criticized by mayor as ‘dark money’ ploy

At face value, the proposal appears aimed at improving healthcare access and affordability. However, local officials argue it is a political tactic designed to influence two congressional races by drawing attention to healthcare issues in those districts. The amendment is on the ballot in six cities: Lansing, East Lansing, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek, Benton Harbor, and Portage. These cities fall into Michigan’s fourth and seventh congressional districts, represented by Republicans Bill Huizenga and Tom Barrett, respectively.
