The Michigan House is not conducting business as usual.
The House Oversight Committee authorized Chair Jay DeBoyer (R-Clay Township) to subpoena Attorney General Dana Nessel, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) Director Elizabeth Hertel, and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
DeBoyer said the subpoena authorizations center around misconduct. He added that it “clears the path” for what he calls “the most extensive use of the Legislature’s subpoena power in Michigan history.”
“House leadership agreed to seek these subpoenas because we take our commitment to making our state government more transparent and accountable seriously,” DeBoyer said. “We are tired of seeing government actors with no regard for the public face zero accountability. If it wasn’t clear before that we are not messing around, it should be now.”
The subpoenas for Nessel relate to possible criminal activity by a top Democrat official and an organization with ties to a member of Nessel’s family. DeBoyer said both cases appear to have been buried and never properly investigated.
