MI: House GOP announce plans to bring back Right to Work, Snyder-era economic policies
A day after state House Democrats won two special elections to regain a majority, Republicans on Wednesday announced a plan “to grow local economies” that included rolling back regulations and reversing some key Democratic policies.
“The state is lacking a coordinated economic growth plan,” House Minority Leader Matt Hall (R-Richland Twp.) said. “Unfortunately, after five years of [Gov. Gretchen] Whitmer, I don’t think that we are going to get that from her.”
The 30-minute news conference was held in the state Capitol and included Hall and several of his GOP colleagues. The Republican caucus, according to Hall, looks to introduce several bills as early as next week, although they are unlikely to gain traction in the Democratic-led chamber.
In 2022, Democrats won control of the state House and Senate simultaneously for the first time since 1984. The state’s executive branch offices are also headed by Democrats. In special elections held on Tuesday, state House Democratic candidates Peter Herzberg and Mai Xiong scored victories in two Southeast Michigan districts, which means Democrats will soon have a 56-54 majority again.
