[Michlib-l] penal fines reduced in election year

[White, Shannon (MDE)]

You can find charts showing the distribution of penal fines on the Library of Michigan website: http://www.michigan.gov/libraryofmichigan/0,2351,7-160-18668_41254---,00.html  (Scroll down to the Penal Fines section of this page.)

There are 5 year and a 10 year comparison reports that may help show trends.

Has anyone actually documented over time that penal fines go down in election years?  Our sheriff was running for reelection, and our penal fines went down 27% from last year.
