The Great Lakes State might get a great financial disclosures upgrade.
We pored over years of disclosure reports, dug up old articles that mentioned private jet travel and cash prizes and found stories about various plaques, busts and bowls the justices have accepted but often failed to mention in their disclosures.
In the last two decades, the justices have accepted 344 gifts valued at $3 million. Counting "likely gifts" (not yet confirmed), the number jumps to 445 gifts totaling $4.8 million.
