"The Senate signed off on Gov. Jennifer Granholm's appointment of Gerald Hall, of Gaines, to the seven-member panel that sets policy for the Department of Natural Resources and hires the department's director.
The Senate action came a day after Senate Majority Leader Ken Sikkema, R-Wyoming, said the chamber wouldn't approve Granholm's other appointment to the commission: former state Rep. Mary Brown of Kalamazoo."
