A veto-proof majority of Michigan representatives passed a bill Tuesday that would require the state to refund coronavirus-related fines after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) was caught violating her own order.
By a 74-34 vote, the state House swiftly passed HB 4501, a bill brought up for consideration after Breitbart News busted Whitmer for violating her restaurant table capacity order last weekend.
“If the governor can violate her orders without any repercussions, then why should our business owners be fined,” state Rep. Steve Johnson (R) wondered.
Watch his floor speech:
The fines and penalties have been significantly related to Whitmer’s executive orders, later ruled unconstitutional by the Michigan Supreme Court.
The Center Square reported Whitmer’s Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity issued 96 fines totaling $259,200. There are 112 “open” cases for alleged violations with potential fines that could amount to another $364,200. Currently, 29 of those are under appeal.
Breitbart News reported Wednesday about 56 restaurants and bars punished by the Whitmer administration over her orders. Johnson cited other businesses, including home builders and office equipment providers, that have also been hit.

Same as it is with New York, New Jersey, California and these crazy male governors.
DemocRAT do what democRAT do.
Yes, three bad female governers in a row here in Michigan. I think Snyders nades are in a lock box carried by someone elsewhere than here.
Now throw her ugly ass in jail to rot.
I would say Bill Milliken or Soapy Williams.
wow, that’s a shot to the Fivehead!
Crimes against humanity.
Impeachment would never pass the weak RINO House or Senate. They just go along to get along. they are basically Ds in their attitudes until an election year.

Gretchen Whitmer recall, Governor of Michigan (2020-2021)
“One recall effort against Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) was launched in 2021. The Michigan Board of State Canvassers considered the recall effort at their May 14 meeting. The board did not approve the petition for circulation. Read more on that effort here.
Twenty recall efforts against Gov. Whitmer were launched in 2020. Ten efforts were rejected by the Michigan Board of State Canvassers, one effort was withdrawn, and nine efforts have ended. Read more on those efforts here.
Supporters of each approved recall effort needed to submit 1,062,647 signatures within a 60-day period to force a recall election. The 60-day period begins on the first day that signatures are collected. The recall petition must be submitted to the office of Michigan’s secretary of state no later than 180 days after it was approved by the board. According to state recall rules, if a recall is appealed to the court of appeals, the petition is valid 180 days after either the court renders a decision or 40 days after the date of appeal whichever comes sooner.[1] Read more here on how recalls function in Michigan.
Whitmer was elected as Michigan’s governor in 2018 with 53.3% of the vote. Rick Snyder (R) served as governor from 2011 to 2019.”
Beautiful!!!
Yet a veto-proof Michigan house refused to enforce voter ID or call a special session to investigate the cheat-by-mail-in ballots or Dominion algorithm before electors were seated.
After she dips below an enthusiastic 52% who moronically love her every word. Many of my MI neighbors are as dumb as a fencepost. Dumber.
Idea: That woman who took in hair styling customers rather than lose her house during a firm lockdown of her beauty salon can offer a free hair styling to Gretchen. After it’s over the Gov will see she then looks like Marilyn Manson. (screams....)
Gretchen Whitmer picture....
Greta: Omigod. I just love Gretchen. How she perfect that mean, nasty, stern look? I’ve been copying her in the mirror for weeks.
Pay the damn legal fees as well!!
My wife has a nephew getting married in Michigan in June. She wanted to go to the wedding and then tour Michigan for a week or so. Between hotels, restaurants, etc., it would likely be in excess of $2,500 of spending. I told her that due to its governor, there was no way I was going to spend any money in Michigan. We will be vacationing in South Carolina instead.
