Michigan Senate minority leader asks Bondi to review state agencies, Dearborn nonprofits
Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt urges DOJ to investigate potential misuse of millions in grants, gaps in tax filings, and possible fraud in Michigan state agencies and Dearborn nonprofits.
- On Wednesday , Aric Nesbitt asked U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi to have the U.S. Department of Justice review grant oversight at MEDC, MDHHS, LEO, ACCESS Michigan and NAYA, and DOJ confirmed it is reviewing the request.
- Citing recent local investigations, independent reporting earlier this week prompted Nesbitt to request a federal review of state agencies and Dearborn nonprofits, citing 'red flags' in financial reports.
- The Detroit News reported NAYA received six-figure earmarks for five years without federal reporting, and Sarab Al-Jijakli stated they fully comply with nonprofit laws.
- The Michigan Attorney General confirmed her office is investigating the Global Link grant, which is under criminal investigation and was previously raided by her office, with no further comments from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation.
- He argued broader oversight gaps mean Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan Economic Development Corporation, and Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity warrant federal scrutiny, Nesbitt said.
