GOP Republicans seize power from newly elected Dems

Michigan Republicans are trying to undermine Democrats who took control of statewide seats in the general election last month.

With the offices of governor, attorney general and secretary of state now in the hands of Democrats, Republicans have proposed a slate of bills to transfer more power to the GOP-controlled Legislature.

One bill would enable the Legislature to intervene in legal battles that the attorney general does not want to defend.

Another bill is aimed at removing the secretary of state from oversight of the state’s campaign finance laws and give that authority to a bi-partisan commission.
