Impact from @DNBethLeBlanc reporting has only just begun, I suspect...
NEW: Attorney General Dana Nessel's office to investigate $20M grant used by businesswoman to buy $4,500 coffee maker detroitnews.com/story/news/pol… via @detroitnews
Come on @DNBethLeBlanc give credit where comedy is due! For a cheap bottle of champagne it was pretty good!
Today's the deadline for lawmakers to submit their personal financial disclosures under a 2022 constitutional amendment. So far, there are varying levels of detail among disclosures, particularly when it comes to lobbyists. Some are very vague, others offer informative details:
Guys. It wasn't a $4,500 coffeemaker. Don't be absurd. It was a $3,900 coffeemaker and $600 of coffee making accessories, including a mug warmer.
Inbox: Since reporting by @detroitnews reporter @DNBethLeBlanc on a $20 million business accelerator grant that was used to purchase a $4,500 coffeemaker, several Republican House members have issued calls to the MEDC for accountability. Rep. Steve Carra called for a taste test.
Proud to be among the all-female writing team on the Front Page @detroitnews @bykaleahall @karaberg95 @DNBethLeBlanc @ByJuliaCardi
And to think I felt I was spending too much on my Nespresso Starbucks pods.
Pretty impressed by how many people knew it was a Jura just by the price tag. I definitely had to google after seeing the receipt.
@CraigDMauger @DNBethLeBlanc @nannburke Inverse relationship between expensive coffee and good taste. Cheaper the better, give me Costco grounds and a $30 coffee machine.
Gah. I hate when that happens. Darn.
“Beydoun said the first-class ticket to Budapest was purchased mistakenly by an assistant and couldn't be swapped for lower-cost fare.” How one local businesswoman is spending a huge grant with little accountability (until now) Scrupulous & detailed reporting by @DNBethLeBlanc
The lavish coffee pot is just the start. Incredible journalism from @DNBethLeBlanc
$4,500 for a coffee maker? How a Michigan businesswoman is spending a $20M taxpayer grant detroitnews.com/story/news/pol…
"It took the Coast Guard more three years to provide The News with a database of marine casualties on the Great Lakes from January 2001 to May 2022." Kudos to @DNBethLeBlanc on pursuing these records -- sometimes the long wait pays off!
