Statement: Michigan Dems Slam Hall and MIGOP for Walking Out on Michiganders

December 13, 2024

Dems call for MIGOP to return their salaries as Rep. Hall leads caucus in abandoning the session and refusing to help voters

LANSING — Earlier on Dec 13th, MIGOP ‘leader’ Matt Hall walked out of the House legislative session with the entire Republican caucus — refusing to do the job Michiganders pay them for. As the MIGOP hits a new low, Michigan Democratic Party Spokesperson Tommy Kubitschek released the following statement:

“If Matt Hall and his caucus aren’t going to do their job, they should return their salaries for the rest of the year. Michigan Democrats are trying to fix roads and lower costs for Michiganders while the MIGOP is pulling cheap political stunts that are an insult to the taxpayers that pay them.

“This is a disturbing sign from the MIGOP about how they will lead, or fail to, when they have the House majority. Hall failed miserably during his first appearance in major negotiations, so we don’t have high hopes for his so-called ‘leadership.’ Michiganders can clearly see that Republicans are more interested in gridlock than helping their constituents.”
