The fine is the second highest campaign finance violation in Michigan history. Former Democratic congressman Mark Schauer was forced to pay the state more than $225,000 for taking excessive contributions from his state Senate campaign fund in 2009. Schauer is now running for Michigan governor.

I'm glad someone finally pointed that out.

SEIU is getting off cheap at $ 200,000.

Seems symbolic - the fine is not even 3% of the illegal spending.

Speaking of Schauer, I was unlucky enough to be stuck with Marky Mark and the Pepper spray bunch for one term. I helped fire his ass in 2010. He won’t be my governor if I have any say in the matter.

$200,000 for a corrupt union like the SEIU is less, much less, than petty cash.

Let’s knock off the fines, which accomplish nothing, and begin putting these union thugs behind bars.
