Whitmer vetos bill to forgive, refund COVID-19 fines
Just the News ^ | 11/15/2021

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has vetoed a bill that aimed to forgive state-issued COVID-19 fines if the employer corrected the violation. The bill would have also required the state to refund companies that already paid fines.

Whitmer vetoed House Bill 4501 on Veteran’s Day, saying it would violate the minimum requirements set by the federal government.

"When a state fails to maintain the minimum standard, it loses control over enforcement of workplace standards," the Democratic governor wrote.

Defy the State and pay the price.

Still waiting on officially-sanctioned brownshirts to do at-home vaccinations at home...accept the shot or we shoot you.

Socialist tyrants do not ever give back state-collected monies.

Well, Whitmer saying anything is a real credibility problem.
And yes the time to fight seems nigh. But I don’t understand how this is going to unfold.

Wittmer likes having that fine money to spend up on her pet projects, or to use politically against Pubs.

What is truly unnerving is that the more the Democrats are exposed for the brutal fascists that they are, the harder they double down on their behavior.

The Wicked Witch of the Michigan Left passed out money to phony unemployment fraudsters like a drunken sailor - but she’ll screw Michigan small business owners all day long...

My wife just drive to the communist state of Michigan to visit her dad who had a stroke. He’s 86 and yes has been vaccinated. She commented that there was a China virus Vax station set up at the rest area just inside the border.
Her dad, in a nursing home now, even though he has no paralysis, only memory loss. He’s irritable and wants to go home but his wife is an idiot. I think she just wants him to die for his money. It’ll be ironic if he gets the virus while he’s in there.

You’re a mean one Mrs. Grinch.
You really are a heel,
You’re as cuddly as a cactus, you’re as charming as an eel, Mrs. Grinch,
You’re a bad banana with a greasy black peel!

And face.

:: the more the Democrats are exposed for the brutal fascists that they are, the harder they double down on their behavior. ::

Because, they only have until November of 2022 to complete their socialist goals (short-term).
Federal elections may, or may not, happen in November, next year.

I’m 68 and born in Detroit.

I’ve always been a current events news junkie and decided at the age of 17 that I wanted out of the democrat/labor union jungle that was Michigan.

I ran off to join the US Navy and never looked back, other than like your wife, to occasionally visit relatives and remind myself why I left.
