Governor's race tab passes $25M

LANSING -- Fundraising for the Michigan governor's race continues to smash records, new state finance reports filed Thursday show, as the two candidates collected a combined $33.5 million and spent more than $25 million through August.

Republican nominee, wealthy west Michigan businessman Dick DeVos, reached into his own pockets for $16.1 million of the $21.6 million raised by his campaign. Gov. Jennifer Granholm, a Democrat, began September with $7.3 million in the bank, compared to just less than $600,000 for DeVos.
