Dickerson: Is A Local Businessman Quietly Bankrolling Two Oakland Judge Candidates?

We know some anonymous donor is trying to buy himself a couple of seats on the Oakland County Circuit Court, writes Brian Dickerson in the Free Press.

Dickerson calls this donor "a coward" and "dishonest." 

He does not name him, but he says he is prepared to spend upward of $1.2 million on behalf of two little-known candidates who have made themselves scarce on the campaign trail and appear to have raised little or no campaign funds of their own.

And we know he may well succeed in his stealth campaign, all without forfeiting his anonymity or revealing his motives or violating a single state or federal law.

The candidates are Deborah Carley and William Rollstin.

Both work for Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette.
