Investigative Process: How Does Michigan Measure Up

[摘要] This paper considers legislative investigatory process in Michigan. Specifically, a description of how that process operates on a day-to-day basis is provided through an historical perspective of state government and five legislative investigatory case studies. A framework for understanding this process is provided by an initial look at Congressional investigatory process. By comparing Michigan;;s investigatory process to that operating federally, one can see that Michigan;;s investigatory activity is pursued less vigorously, is more political, and is more informal than its Congressional counterpart.
