Michigan Republicans introduce bills seeking to curtail powers of incoming Democrats

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Republican state legislators in Michigan introduced a number of bills Thursday curtailing some powers of the state’s governor, attorney general and secretary of state after Democrats flipped all three offices in the midterm elections.

State Rep. Robert VerHeulen (R) introduced a bill that would give the state House of Representatives and Senate the ability to insert itself into any legal proceedings involving the state, which traditionally fell under the purview of the state attorney general or the governor’s office, according to the Detroit Free Press.

State Sen. David Robertson (R) also introduced a bill that would give a six-person commission appointed by the governor oversight of campaign finance law, which is currently overseen by the Michigan secretary of state.

The panel members would be nominated by the state Republican and Democratic parties.

State Democrats ripped the proposals, saying they go against the will of voters who ushered the newly elected Democrats into power.
