Today’s headline: Shelter in place? Whitmer says it’s not under consideration
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is blunt when asked whether she’s considering a shelter-in-place order that might grind the rest of Michigan’s economy to a halt.
“I am not,” she said in an interview with The Detroit News. “I want to be very clear about that. I’ve gotten a lot of questions about that lately.”
Sorry, but gov. nitWhitmer doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to speaking the truth.
###UPDATE###: If new California to stay-home order holds true to history, Michigan will soon follow and be ordered too.
###UPDATE 2###: The state of New York has joined California’s shutdown.
Um, yeah?
Exactly who is responsible for differentiating what is "essential"?
The only plus side, if there is one, with these "emergency powers" Gov. Witless is invoking, is that they are not permanent and need to go the the Michigan Legislature in order to be extended after 28 days
I would hope that Speaker Chatfield and Sen. Shirkey show a little backbone and take a page from Kid Rock on this one.
