The push and pull over COVID-19 aid continues in Lansing, with the Legislature approving $4.2 billion in pandemic relief, but with strings attached that would limit the governor’s executive authority.
Meanwhile, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer this week faced questions about confidentiality clauses included in separation agreements with multiple state workers, including former Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Director Robert Gordon, who resigned abruptly in January
The questions came as she announced easing building capacity limits for businesses and raising the number of people who can legally gather in Michigan.
