LANSING, MI (WKZO AM/FM) – Michigan’s Senate Majority Leader Sunday blasted the Governor for the latest round of restrictions on businesses and individuals in the state.
Senator Mike Shirkey (R-Clark Lake) said in a statement that Senate Republicans have been engaged in conversations with doctors, hospitals, and the Whitmer administration on ways to combat the spread of COVID-19 and help support healthcare workers. But he said “While we were meeting in good faith, Governor Whitmer was working on her own strategy that did not include input from the Senate Republicans and we see the result of her plans in this latest round of restrictions.”
“We are disappointed that Governor Whitmer chose to go it alone, again.”
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issued a new emergency order Sunday that enacts a three-week pause, targeting indoor social gatherings and other group activities in an effort to curb rapidly rising COVID-19 infection rates.
