The House Ethics and Oversight Committee is scheduled to meet every Thursday at 10:30 a.m. But it hasn’t met since June, leaving 19 bills stuck in limbo.
Since Jan. 1, the committee met only six times. In every meeting, the committee heard presentations from speakers and adjourned before acting on any legislation.
According to Rep. Tom Kunse, R-Clare, the vice chair of the committee, there are no plans to meet before the end of the year. He finds this “unexcusable.”
“I would love to know why,” Kunse said. “So literally, we will do nothing all year.”
In contrast, the Senate Ethics and Election Committee has met 16 times this year.
The 19 bills awaiting the House committee’s consideration were introduced between February and July.
Acceptable registrations in the queue through April 26 at 9:00p ET have now been activated. Enjoy! -M.W.

Excellent post; I'd love to know the reasoning for this as well.
On a somewhat related note, the transparency bill recently passed by the House is a total joke, as M.L. Elrick from the Detroit Free Press has duly noted.

Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Nobody likes it. It really illustrates that dark politics exist universally in the state. Maybe it's time for a voter referendum.MWmetalhead wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 10:09 amExcellent post; I'd love to know the reasoning for this as well.

Re: Ethic Committee M.I.A. in State House
Uh, that's what happened. The watered down bill is a bare minimum attempt to meet what we voted on last year. Also, it's bullshit that the state is adjourning for the year early to shoehorn in the presidential primary.TC Talks wrote: ↑Mon Nov 13, 2023 5:49 pmNobody likes it.

Voting for Trump is dumber than playing Russian Roulette with fully loaded chambers.
