GOVERNOR WHITMER S 2021 STATE OF STATE ADDRESS
Good evening.
Last year, I gave my second State of the State address in the House Chamber here in the capitol.
Like much of the last year, this State of the State is different, because it has to be. Tonight, it’s just me and a few people in my Capitol office.
And while it’s different, it s an opportunity to speak directly to you the people of Michigan about the past year, and our priorities in 2021.
At the risk of losing you in the first minutes of this speech, I’m going to use a Latin phrase: Annus horribilis: a year of horribles. Before I tell you more, take comfort in knowing that tough years like 2020, our annus horribilis, are usually followed by great years – and yes, there’s Latin a phrase for that too: annus mirabilis.

From the eerily quiet streets that characterized the early peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in March and April to the fever pitch of a tumultuous election year, from the isolation of self-quarantine to the vibrant culture that emerged again as we learned new ways to connect through the year, Ann Arbor’s story was written in moments big and small.
