For you students of government you know the three branches are supposedly coequal. The courts have power to review what the other two branches do and the governor and legislature have their own unique authority but the oversight duty in the legislative branch is held in the highest regard because it gets to check on what the executive branch is doing which left to its own devices, some governors would try to run the show as if no one else was watching.
Which brings us to the current oversight back and forth between the Gov. Whitmer administration and the House Speaker Matt Hall GOP oversight agenda.
When the Democrats ran the house, senate and governor’s office, suffice it to say the oversight process in the house was, one could say, on life support. Since the D’s were pretty much in lock step with most of what their governor was doing, why the heck bother with trying to figure out if she was doing it correctly.
