From The Midwesterner:
Incoming House Speaker Matt Hall is planning an expansive oversight committee that will carefully scrutinize Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration and other aspects of state government, a Republican source familiar with Hall’s thinking tells The Midwesterner.
According to the source, Hall plans six Oversight subcommittees, including:
- Weaponization of State Government
- Child Welfare System
- Corporate Subsidies and State Investments
- Public Health and Food Security
- Homeland Security and Foreign Influence
- State and Local Public Assistance Programs
Hall’s creation of subcommittees is unprecedented and reflects an anticipated vigorous investigation into Whitmer’s policies and decisions in particular. But it’s expected the subcommittees will also be reviewing Attorney General Dana Nessel’s actions, as well as those of Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
