LANSING Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday unveiled a $5.6 billion COVID-19 “recovery plan” to expand vaccine distribution, help schools resume in-person instruction and aid businesses and residents across Michigan.
The plan, which relies almost exclusively on federal funding, sets up a potential showdown with Michigan’s Republican-led Legislature, where House Appropriations Chair Thomas Albert has threatened to block spending requests until the governor eases business restrictions and allows restaurants to reopen dining rooms.
In announcing the plan, Whitmer urged cooperation and said the state must act quickly to spend more than $5 billion in new funding from the federal government.
Legislative leaders, however, were not briefed on details of the governor s new proposal before its release.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on Friday strongly encouraged all K-12 schools in Michigan to offer in-person instruction by March 1 and earlier if possible, but she stopped short of requiring it, saying face-to-face classes should at least be an option.
Many schools, including in large districts such as Ann Arbor and Grand Rapids, have been fully remote during the coronavirus pandemic. Teachers and child care staff are among residents who will begin being vaccinated starting Monday as the state transitions to the next phase of its vaccine rollout. Vaccines were first offered to health care workers and nursing home residents.
