LANSING, Mich. (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 gatherings 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 may return for a third meeting this week.
