State lawmakers are paid $71,685 a year and can be reimbursed for up to $10,800 for travel, meals and incidental expenses.

Financial disclosures they filed in June show they also enjoyed perks from lobbyists including travel expenses, meals, wine, and Pistons tickets.

Michigan voters approved an amendment to the state Constitution in 2022 that requires candidates for state offices and elected state officials to share financial information on an annual basis. The law went into effect in 2024. This is the second year disclosures were required under the new law.

Lawmakers may disclose as much as they wish, but most chose to reveal as little as possible and reported only the $1,000 minimum amount necessary to comply with the new state law. Others provided great detail about dinners, cryptocurrency investments, multiple retirement accounts and varying degrees of personal debt.

State lawmakers and those running for state offices must share what income they earn each year outside of their state pay. They also must disclose lobbyist interactions.

Any candidate or elected official who fails to file the financial disclosure can face a fine up to $1,000. Anyone who knowingly files false information faces a fine of up to $2,000.

He also received a Detroit Pistons game ticket from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.

He reported that his wife, Susan Tisdel, was not a lobbyist and did not have an outside income.

Tisdel said in general the disclosures are good but the rules have changed at least three times since he’s been in office and that has created some confusion at reporting time.

He said it was hard to put a dollar value on the Pistons ticket because he was in a suite with several other elected officials.

He said over the last year, he’s structured his online calendar to document lobbyist interactions so his year-end report is complete.

Lawmakers should have nothing to hide, he said, adding that the notion of lawmakers being “‘bought and sold’ is completely false” because of the way lobbyists work.

“No one gives you anything until you’re fully vetted,” he said, explaining that lobbyists control much of the political-action committee money. “No industry PAC is sending you money and hoping you vote in their direction. They’re looking to get people in their particular mindset to get elected … otherwise they’re wasting their money.”

He said most lawmakers have a 2-hour commute one way and some will rent a room when the house is in session. For those staying in Lansing, he said, a dinner with a lobbyist may seem better than sitting in a rented room. He said he does not rent a room in Lansing because he’d rather go home and spend time with his wife.

He said while lobbyists are pursuing their interests, there are times when lawmakers can find out from lobbyists what other elected officials are supporting or opposing a bill.
