LANSING (AP) Republican senators critical of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic are weighing whether to reject her appointee to run the state health department, which has issued orders restricting business capacity and gathering sizes to limit COVID-19’s spread.
Elizabeth Hertel took over the Department of Health and Human Services on Jan. 22, the day Robert Gordon abruptly resigned. Her appointment will stand unless the GOP-controlled Senate blocks it by March 23. No affirmative vote is required.
Hertel’s nomination is drawing considerably more attention than any in years. She has spent hours answering questions in two Advice and Consent Committee hearings and is expected back for a third meeting this week.
