The MIRS team gathers to make their nominations for the MIRS House Member of 2023, with assistance from guest reporter Ben Orner, a legislative and political journalist for MLive. 

Also, on December 6th, Senate Minority Leader Aric Nesbitt dropped by the MIRS newsroom to share his own views on how the year went. Zooming in on Democrats' 100% "clean energy" by 2040 package, Nesbitt says it is "so much like Governor Whitmer" to get a huge public relations hit supporting a possible future presidential run, while many plans are not fully implemented until after her governorship ends.

"This gives Republicans a chance as we continue to work to win back the House next year, to work to win back the Senate and win back the governorship," Nesbitt says.
