Michigan Gubernatorial Public Funding Pot is Almost Empty

Ever since 1976, Michigan has had public funding in place for candidates for Governor. Candidates who raise at least $75,000 are entitled to public funding. This year, however, the fund (which is financed from a $3 checkoff on state income taxes) has been depleted to pay general state expenses. See this story. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
