Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer issued Executive Order 2020-155 on Wednesday, which cut $115.07 million from the Michigan State Police budget.
Talk radio host Steve Gruber reported Whitmer ordered the cut, along with others, including $392.67 million being slashed from the Department of Corrections and $36.46 million from the Department of Health and Human Services.
The cut to the State Police equals roughly one-quarter of the agencys funding, according to Gruber.

She should simply tell the SP what they should stop doing.
YOU MICHIGANERS PUT THIS LIBERAL FOOL IN OFFICE, NOW LIVE WITH IT.
When someone shoots these POS politicians I hope the response from the police is we would like to help but we have no one available for a month or two. Leave your name and number and we will call back when we reach your place in line. For more immediate help the number for the crime social justice office is ......... thanks for reaching out and good day. Bye.
What about the 40 percent or so who didnt?
F them too?
Yes indeed. Obviously in a state that swings, everyone wanted Governor Karen.
My hope on Frau Witchmer is that she gets decidedly tossed out of office, and leaves Michigan never to return, like Granholm. She can go be someone else’s issue.
Stop her, you feckless, Republican legislature! We DO NOT WANT THIS.
Has she dismissed her security detail yet?
How does a governor reallocate funds like this? Doesn’t the legislature dictate spending and not a dictator governor?
The shooting needs to start sooner rather than later.
Yes. And the Michigan republicans have to put up a candidate that has more appeal than a boiled carrot
Do state parties ever do that? Certainly not in New York.
So they should not have enough money to enforce her orders.
Where is the state legislatures?
We do not have dictators.
Yes. And there may be limits already set by the state’s constitution. Otherwise she could take the entire police budget and create a department of Kumbaya and unicorn droppings.
And the state legislature is doing what exactly while all this is going on?
NYS’s passed a bill telling Cuomo he could do anything he wanted, fine by them.
MI House and Senate are strangely quiet, almost as if they want this to happen. Theres no longer an emergency in MI, since the death rate is insignificant. Are they going to let her just declare an emergency and govern by fiat from now on?
I do not know...it is weird. Does the legislature think we all AGREE with her and her power grab?
What are they waiting for? More money? The more Covid, the more Fed $$$. Are they waiting for a piece of that pie? Or are they afraid that if they counter her she will call in the antifa and BLM types?
