LANSING, MI - For the first time in several months, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican leaders in the Michigan Legislature actually agree on something.
Whitmer this week opted to generally avoid imposing significant new COVID-19 restrictions, even though the state’s case and hospitalization rates are the worst in the country. Instead, the governor pushed once more for more people to get vaccinated and comply with mask-wearing and social-distancing guidelines.
