Michigan GOP rejects five more Whitmer appointees over pandemic restrictions
By David Eggert
LANSING, Mich. - Senate Republicans on Wednesday rejected five more appointees nominated by Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, in a renewed attempt to voice displeasure with not having input into her administration s pandemic restrictions.
The move came a week after the Senate blocked 13 gubernatorial nominees to send a message. Those disapproved Wednesday include appointees to three university governing boards Grand Valley State, Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan and the state cosmetology board.
The state health department has lifted many gathering restrictions that were imposed in November to curb spiking coronavirus cases. But the GOP opposes remaining limits such as a 25% capacity limit at restaurants and a ban on youth contact sports and contends that Whitmer has circumvented the Legislature after losing a major emergency-powers case at the state Supreme Court.
