LANSING, MI – Today, Speaker Matt Hall, R-Richland Township, issued the following statement in response to Attorney General Dana Nessel’s reckless opinion related to the waste, fraud, and abuse that is being moved into government slush funds:

“This is clearly a political decision from Dana Nessel, and the Democrats rigged this from the beginning. Without this law, Democrats will build their slush funds without any oversight. Incoherent legal theories like this are the reason we have the $5 billion of waste, fraud, and abuse in state government. But she has no problem ignoring the law to push welfare for illegal aliens and radical DEI programs, and Michigan taxpayers are going to pay the price.

“We are going to sue, because Michigan taxpayers need someone to fight for them and stop this absurd and incorrect interpretation of Michigan law. And we’ll win very easily, because Dana Nessel ALWAYS loses in court.”
