When the newly elected are sworn into office in January, the Michigan House of Representatives will have Republicans in the majority. The GOP took back control of the House in November while Democrats retain control of the Senate and Governor’s office. The Democratic Caucus has chosen State Representative Ranjeev Puri to serve as House Minority Leader in the new session. In the meantime, there is a lame duck session to finish up. WEMU's David Fair and Michigan League of Conservation Voters executive director Lisa Wozniak were joined by Representative Puri to look at environmental policy and governance.
