Contact: Phil Green

Rep. Phil Green of Millington today issued a statement after the Michigan Legislature created a new committee to help ensure accountability and oversight of state government’s response to COVID-19. The Joint Select Committee on the COVID-19 Pandemic will include a total of 10 members from the House and Senate:


“The people of Huron and Tuscola counties have grave concerns about how the state is responding to the COVID-19 pandemic. This new committee is designed to investigate the state government’s actions during the state of emergency and give the Legislature some oversight in the process.


“I am glad this new committee has subpoena powers because it will help the Legislature get answers to the people’s questions more quickly and thoroughly. It’s a step in the right direction.”


Green also noted the state has had special legislative committees before in emergency health responses, including during the Flint water crisis.
