Sen. Hertel on Republicans Blocking Whitmer Appointees

Published | Video Starts at 00:13

Thank you, Lieutenant Governor. Well, folks, here we go again. Good and decent people willing to serve our state. No hearings, no review, no looking at their qualifications, no consideration, no remembering the history of this body or how we have operated for the entire length of time of Michigan history. And even to correct some people last week, not even knowing how this works. These people, when rejected, mean that there's a vacancy. There is no child ombudsman in this state, for example.
