LANSING, Mich. – Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Wednesday will deem some Republican-backed budget provisions unconstitutional attempts to restrict COVID-19 public health measures but allow language limiting potential state and municipal vaccination requirements. The Democratic governor’s moves will come in conjunction with her signing $55 billion in spending two days before the new fiscal year starts.

“These dangerous, anti-public health boilerplate provisions that seek to tie the hands of local health departments and municipalities will not be enforced as part of the final budget because they violated various aspects of the Michigan Constitution,” spokesman Bobby Leddy said in a statement.

Well that didn’t take long. This traitor that agreed with the budget and Covid restrict of powers to get it to her desk is now betraying everyone and using a Line Item Veto.

Many hours were spent in this by myself and others. She a piece of garbage that untrustworthy woman is.

That requires balls and the Republican control House and Senate LACK THEM.

She’s up for re-election in 2022.

We must make a move then. Right now I’m supporting Chief Craig.

This unitary government is really exciting. Last year she was the legislature. This year she is the State Supreme court.

Effing dictatorship.

They need to get rid of her. (Note to lurking FBI; thank you very much, but I am not interested in a plan to DIY this goal)

I suppose this is a problem with the line item veto.

Is there any way to craft legislation that is entirely void, if altered?

Otherwise, it seems that the executive can just make monkeys out of the legislature.

Is it just me that notices the Covid Card is becoming a political weapon as the Race Card has been for years?

Totalitarians have SO many Cards to guilt, demean or divde people.
Race Card;
White Card;
White Systemic Supremacy Card;
Rich Card;
Inequity of Income Card;
Women's Health Card (read: abortion);
Transgender Phobia Card;
LBGTQxyz Phobia Card;
Religion Card;
Deplorable Card;
National Pride Card.
Immigration Phobia Card.

What Cards am I missing that the dems/socs/commies use?

If a long ago former phb ette of mine ever became a governor, she would be every bit as psychotic, evil, uglier, and a a tad heftier than Gretchen.

That person is why I will steer clear of female supervisors. I know there are good ones out there and heard of some.

Last week the headline here in Michigan was that she AGREED to these very two provisions she is now vetoing. We knew something was up. She is pitiful.

I’m here too, Northern Michigan, formally from Detroit,

I’m hoping Chief Craig will encourage the black vote to stay home.

As you know, they won’t vote for him but what they do is show “support” by not voting at all.

Separate Legislation is the only way…….it needs a huge majority to make it veto proof.

In 13 1/2 months is the election.

If she loses, I’m sure Biden will scoop her up for something.

She’ll became the entire country’s problem then.
