Thanks. I saw a similar graphic a day or two ago that listed the number of deaths they caused. I think those four killed 40% of all COVID deaths in their nursing homes!
She vetoed it.
What a lot of people, Michiganders included, don't understand is that Michigan passed a law during WWII, 1945, that gives the Governor almost unlimited authority to act on her own.
“Act 302
10.31 Proclamation of state of emergency; promulgation of orders, rules, and regulations;seizure of firearms, ammunition, or other weapons.Sec. 1. (1) During times of great public crisis, disaster, rioting, catastrophe, or similar public emergencywithin the state, or reasonable apprehension of immediate danger of a public emergency of that kind, whenpublic safety is imperiled, either upon application of the mayor of a city, sheriff of a county, or thecommissioner of the Michigan state police or upon his or her own volition, the governor may proclaim a stateof emergency and designate the area involved. After making the proclamation or declaration, the governormay promulgate reasonable orders, rules, and regulations as he or she considers necessary to protect life andproperty or to bring the emergency situation within the affected area under control. “
After a few false starts, including recall petitions, a petition to UnLock Michigan is being circulated (if you're interested, go to Unlock Michigan.com to find out where you can sign the petition).
There is only one sentence on the petition.
“An initiation of legislation to repeal the Emergency Powers of Governor Act, 1945 PA 302, MCL 10.31 to 10.33, entitled “An act authorizing the governor to proclaim a state of emergency, and to prescribe the powers and duties of the governor with respect thereto; and to prescribe penalties.”
I live way past BFE, so I had to drive about 40 miles today to sign a petition. And, grrrr, the UnLock folks must have folded their tent due to the torrential downpour (they were on the shore of the Bay, so I understand).
I'm not even mad that I used a Saturday afternoon and too much time and gas. I figure it's the least I can do. Especially since, last night, the Whitless One did this:
She signed yet ANOTHER EO that extends our state of emergency (totally unnecessary ) till Sept. 4. Again, with no input from anyone! She has not talked to our legislature in months! She just does whatever she wants.
Did you get the part where I and thousands of others hate her Hitler-esque rule over this state? I could go into details of the punishments she has ordered for whomever disobeys her laws...but this is long enough. I posit that her approval ratings were sampled in the heavily Democrat areas, Detroit and Lansing. So, ya, Lyin' Hiden Biden, take our Governor, PLEASE!
Gretchen looks like Nurse Ratched.
