“I’ve served in government a long time, and I believe that elected chief executives need to make final decisions about policy with confidential advice.” Gordon said. “They also need to be comfortable with their agency heads. Since the pandemic began, many leadership changes have happened in other states. It’s no surprise they would happen in Michigan.”
