We love making waves at Progress Michigan.
We definitely made the right kind of waves when we released documents showing that the Snyder administration had a hand in quietly removing a $98,000 fine on Aramark, the out-of-state corporation that was handed a $145 million dollar contract to run our state prisons’ food service.
We know you’re busy, so we decided to give you a media rundown of some of the best hits our accountability work has resulted in:

We’re not stopping. We’ve filed a lawsuit against the Michigan Department of Corrections for the rest of the emails that they’re trying to hide from us. We’ll keep you posted as we continue to be watchdogs against privatization and government corruption.
