Michigan lawmaker moves to shut down 'guardrail-free' cash handout program for new mothers

A Michigan state lawmaker is taking aim at a taxpayer-funded cash assistance program for pregnant mothers, calling it "bad policy" and demanding changes to how millions of dollars are distributed.

"The reason I don't think it's good policy is because we are asking taxpayers to put money on the table with no guardrails, with no independent analysis of whether it is actually accomplishing anything," House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. Jay DeBoyer, R-Clay Township, told Fox News Digital.
