Heartwell Update
The Michigan Senate is poised to reject the appointment of former Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell to the Natural Resources Commission this week. The Michigan Senate Advice and Consent Committee met last week to hear testimony on the Whitmer selection of Heartwell to chair the commission. Much of the hearing focused on Heartwell's willful defiance of Michigan's firearms preemption law as mayor. It also came out during the hearing that Heartwell hasn't hunted in 35 years saying he made a "personal decision" decades ago that "killing things was not for me." The primary purpose of the Natural Resources Commission is to regulate hunting and fishing. MCRGO Board has taken a position in opposition to the appointment and has communicated its position to the Michigan Senate.
