Michigan Oversight Has Second Hearing On Auditor General Report On CPS - Still Sucks

Reporting on the Michigan House Oversight Committee on why Child Protective Services still sucks;

So the Oversight Committee had their second hearing and I have taken away that CPS is claiming more policies have allegedly been implemented and that legislators don't understand how a lack of training for workers is affecting families. They are also offering possible budget increases that won't fix a thing because the root causes are not being addressed. They also cited "rules" and cut off a parent who took the time to be there and who was nervous about sharing their horror story. Last week they looked poised to show they cared, this week they showed this was nothing but a show. I should have expected nothing less but I thought that because they had preliminary evidence that there were major problems that they may actually do something. Time to regroup and get them on track to take this far more seriously. Election season is going to make that tough.

Stephanie Jezowski I did just get clarification that the legislators had their last regular session day and had to go check in to be able to vote by 10:10 so that is likely why they pulled the rules card. However, I take issue with parents in this situation only getting 3 minutes to talk. Rep. Graves did invite the mother to meet with him and continue what she had to share with him sometime soon. I believe there need to be longer, and more extensive hearings on this matter because that is the ONLY way they will see the true scope of the problem.

Stephanie Jezowski Also of note, I think it was Hertel who proffered the funding and staffing. His wife works where? In the MDHHS executive offices if memory serves. I want to go back when the archive is up and make sure but pretty sure that was Hertel. Good little UAW puppet who should be watching this one from the sidelines if you ask me. Maybe if I get in front of the committee I should call that out on the record? Hehehe That would be fun!
