The new Speaker Of The House Matt Hall will give the House Oversight Committee historic authority to issue subpoenas as it investigates Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Secretary Of State Jocelyn Benson, and Attorney General Dana Nessel, sources tell West Michigan Politics.
Usually, subpoenas at House Oversight have to be dealt with individually, on a case by case basis---not anymore. The Oversight Committee now has the ability to subpoena whoever they need to in order to get answers.
This move shows Speaker Hall is for real about holding Whitmer, Benson, and Nessel accountable for what they have done to our over state the last 6 years.
One of the biggest issues the Oversight Committee will investigate is "how the Government abused its authority and failed in public transparency during COVID."
Investigation of the Chinese Gotion scandal is also on the agenda, among many other important subjects...
Speaker Hall is also planning a MAJOR expansion of the House Oversight Committee in order to make sure the investigations cover all the bases.
According to Kyle Olson at 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."
