Business Week publishes a Q&A with Tom Kinnear, executive director of UM Business School’s Zell Lurie Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies.

A March 1 article on local candidates for state legislative races incorrectly stated that candidates file their petitions to be on the ballot with the Secretary of State.

Campaign finance reports for all state races are made with the Secretary of State. We note the error here, and have corrected it in the original article.
