A nonpartisan Michigan state watchdog group recently gave Democrat Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration failing grades for multiple problems within state agencies, so the embattled governor’s response was to cut more than $8 million from the nonpartisan group’s budget.
How Democrat. How Gretchen Whitmer.
Among the watchdog’s recent findings:
- The Unemployment Insurance Agency failed to perform some employee background checks or sever timely ex-employee access to databases.
- The Michigan Department of Education never fingerprinted 4% of contracted staff, and 7% weren’t done on time as required by state statute.
- The OAG found the Cannabis Regulatory Agency “averaged 196 days and took up to 757 days to complete disciplinary action for 123 formal complaints involving licensee violations.”
- Critical hospital infrastructure needs to be inspected more often.
So Whitmer’s 2025 budget…
