Whitmer says she won t give up COVID-19 powers despite spending bills
Lansing Gov. Gretchen Whitmer labeled the Legislature s plan for handling billions of dollars in federal COVID-19 relief nonsensical and repeated Monday her pledge that she won t hand over unilateral powers to respond to the pandemic.
Appearing on MSNBC, the Democratic governor contended that Republican state lawmakers are holding back a portion of the federal funding and trying to use the money to get her to relinquish her administration s authority. They know that’s never going to happen, Whitmer told MSNBC s Stephanie Ruhle, indicating she will block provisions of a GOP-backed spending proposal.
