Protests are one thing, a special session of the legislature is another. Michigan’s Gov. Gretchen Whitmer faces both now that the lege is set to meet and discuss her coronavirus power grabs.
Michigan House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, explained the point of Friday’s planned session in a Twitter message.
“The House & Senate will convene tomorrow to create a special oversight committee on COVID-19 to examine our government’s response,” he wrote. “Michigan needs to handle this pandemic seriously yet properly. It’s what the people deserve, and we will see that it happens.”
In another tweet, Chatfield noted that marijuana, lottery tickets and alcohol had been declared “essential,” while lawn care, construction and fishing in a motorized boat had been declared nonessential amid the outbreak.
Republicans control Michigan’s legislature and plan to pass several bills to limit Whitmer’s power. Whitmer is a Democrat and says she’ll veto them in the name of “safety.”
