Operation Clean House:
The Michigan Government
Accountability Audit
On Day One, Governor Ceric Laszcwski will sign Executive Order 2027-001 creating the Michigan Office of Government Accountability — a team of 15 elite investigators, forensic accountants, and legal experts with full authority to audit every elected official, department, and contractor in the state of Michigan.
Michigan Has a Corruption Problem.
It Ends Now.
For decades, Michigan politicians have operated in the dark. State contracts worth billions have been awarded to donors and insiders. Road construction money has vanished into contractor kickback schemes. Pension funds have been mismanaged while those responsible retired with full benefits. Legislators have used their positions to enrich themselves, their families, and their cronies — all while Michiganders paid the bill.
The Michigan State Police, the Auditor General, and the Attorney General have all failed to act with the urgency this corruption demands. They are either outgunned, politically compromised, or both. That changes when Ceric Laszcwski becomes Governor.
This is not a political witch hunt. This is a forensic accounting of the public’s money. Every dollar that left the Michigan treasury is traceable. Every contract that was awarded can be reviewed. Every official who used their position for personal gain will be identified, referred for prosecution, and made to answer to the people of Michigan.
Establishment of the Michigan Office of Government Accountability (MOGA)
This order creates a permanent, independent investigative body within the Executive Branch with authority to subpoena records, compel testimony, access all state financial systems, audit all executive branch agencies, and refer criminal findings to the Michigan Attorney General and the United States Department of Justice. The MOGA reports directly to the Governor and publishes its findings publicly.
Every Branch. Every Dollar.
Every Deal.
No corner of Michigan government is exempt. The audit covers all 148 state legislators, all executive branch departments and agencies, all state contractors receiving over $100,000 in state funds, and all appointed officials across the Whitmer-era holdovers and beyond.

What we are looking for specifically:
15 Elite Investigators.
Zero Political Ties.
Full Subpoena Authority.
Every member of the Michigan Office of Government Accountability will be hired through a competitive, non-partisan process. No political appointees. No donors. No lobbyists. Candidates with any connection to Michigan’s political establishment in the past 10 years are disqualified. The team will be drawn from federal law enforcement, Big Four forensic accounting, federal prosecution, and national investigative journalism.
Budget: The MOGA will be funded at $8.5 million annually — less than 0.013% of Michigan’s state budget — drawn from existing executive contingency funds on Day One, requiring no legislative approval. Additional funding requests will go to the Legislature with full public transparency.
Compensation: All positions will be competitively compensated at federal law enforcement and Big Four forensic consulting equivalents to attract the best talent. No position will be filled by a political donor, lobbyist, or anyone with financial ties to Michigan’s political infrastructure.
From Day One to
Day of Reckoning.
Executive Order + Team Assembly
Sign EO 2027-001 on Day One. Begin hiring process immediately. Preserve all state records through executive order — no document destruction. Issue formal record hold notices to all 148 legislators, all agency heads, and all major state contractors. Access financial systems and begin baseline data collection.
Financial Disclosure Review + Data Analysis
Pull 10 years of financial disclosures for all elected officials and appointed department heads. Cross-reference against campaign finance records, state contract awards, real estate transactions, and corporate ownership databases. Build the full financial map of Michigan’s political class. Identify the 20 highest-priority targets for full forensic investigation.
Forensic Audits + Subpoenas
Begin full forensic audits of priority targets. Issue subpoenas for bank records, communications, and corporate documents. Activate whistleblower hotline. Conduct interviews. Forensic accounting teams complete full review of MDOT, DTMB, and MDHHS contracts. First referrals to the AG and federal authorities.
First Public Report + Referrals
MOGA publishes its first comprehensive public report. Every finding made public. Criminal referrals forwarded to the Michigan AG and US Attorney. Civil asset recovery proceedings initiated against those found to have stolen public funds. Legislature receives formal recommendations for new ethics and disclosure laws.
Ongoing + Local Government Phase
MOGA becomes a permanent institution. Phase 2 expands to county government, school districts, and local contractors. Annual public reports become a permanent fixture of Michigan government. The culture of impunity in Lansing is replaced by the certainty of accountability.
Full Legal Authority.
No Stonewalling.
The MOGA operates under the Governor’s constitutional authority as head of the Executive Branch and Michigan’s Public Officers and Employees Ethics Act. The Special Inspector General will have standing to pursue legal action against any state official who obstructs the investigation.
Investigative tools available to MOGA:
- >Administrative subpoenas for financial records, emails, and documents
- >Compelled testimony from state employees and contractors
- >Direct access to all state financial systems, payroll, and procurement records
- >Referral to Michigan AG for criminal prosecution under MCL 750.118 (bribery) and MCL 750.505
- >Federal referral to FBI, DOJ Public Integrity Section, and IRS Criminal Investigation
- >Civil asset recovery and restitution proceedings for stolen public funds
- >Full public reporting of all findings — no confidential settlements
What the MOGA cannot do (we will be honest about the limits): The Legislature and Judiciary are co-equal branches. MOGA cannot unilaterally audit legislators’ personal bank accounts or force testimony from judges without court orders. However — any contractor, lobbyist, or business entity with a state relationship is fully within scope. And when a legislator’s corruption involves state money, the federal government has jurisdiction regardless of state separation of powers. We will work with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office where state authority ends.
My Pledge to the People
of Michigan
I will not protect the powerful. I will not make deals to look the other way. I will not accept the argument that “that’s just how it’s done in Lansing.” Every dollar stolen from Michigan taxpayers will be traced. Every official who abused their position will be referred for prosecution. Every finding will be published for the public to see. The days of self-policing in Michigan government are over.
This is not revenge. This is accounting. Michigan deserves to know the truth about how their government has operated — and they deserve a Governor with the backbone to find out.
