Former fundraiser for Unlock Michigan (R) plans to plead guilty on Tuesday
Sandra Baxter, one of two defendants facing charges in relation to the Unlock Michigan dark money scandal, plans to plead guilty Tuesday to a reduced misdemeanor charge, her attorney confirmed with Michigan Advance.
Attorney Andrew Abood did not say what the misdemeanor was but did say that the plea did not involve a cooperation agreement with the Michigan Department of Attorney General.......
Baxter was involved in fundraising efforts for Michigan! My Michigan!, which was tied to former Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey (R-Clarklake) and other Republican lawmakers. Meanwhile, Lombardini was the president of Michigan Citizens for Fiscal Responsibility and the treasurer of Michigan! My Michigan!
Lombardini’s case is pending a motion to quash her bind over to the circuit court for trial.
