Gretchen Whitmer receives her second dose of Pfizer s COVID-19 vaccine from Dr. Joneigh Khaldun at DeVos Place on Thursday, April 29, 2021, in Grand Rapids, Mich. (Hope Davison/The Grand Rapids Press via AP)Hope Davison/AP LANSING, Mich. (AP) Republican legislative leaders on Friday welcomed Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s metric-based approach to further relaxing coronavirus restrictions, but they questioned what will happen if Michigan s COVID-19 vaccination rate falls below targets. Their comments came a day after the Democratic governor announced four benchmarks that will trigger additional economic reopening when 55%, 60%, 65% and 70% of people ages 16 and up get at least one shot. About half have done so to date. The state, where the seven-day infection rate remains highest in the U.S. but is dropping, now needs at least two of every five unvaccinated

Michigan House speaker wants say in decisions on COVID-19 path out

View Comments Lansing The Republican leader of the Michigan House, Speaker Jason Wentworth, says he wants Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer involved in decisions on divvying up billions of dollars in federal relief money, but the Legislature needs a say in how the state handles the end of the pandemic. Wentworth, R-Farwell, made the comments Friday during a virtual event organized by the Detroit Regional Chamber. He appeared to express a desire for bipartisan cooperation, something that has been infrequent in Lansing in recent months. When the three branches are at the table negotiating, there are better outcomes for the state of Michigan, Wentworth said, apparently referring to the House, the Senate and the governor s office.

A personal choice Michigan GOP leaders balk at COVID vaccine incentives

“What if we don’t ever get to 70” percent, Wentworth, R-Clare, said Friday in a virtual roundtable hosted by the Detroit Regional Chamber. “That’s a possibility, so how do we give some more sense of hope and certainty in that plan?” Wentworth acknowledged polling that suggests Republican voters are less likely to get the vaccine, but he cautioned against “vaccine shaming,” arguing the state should stay focused on ensuring accessibility for those who choose to get the shots. “I think as we do that that trust and confidence continues to build, and I think some groups that may be hesitant to get the vaccine would start getting that,” he said. “But if we just focus on these groups, and we just focus on separating us into camps, that creates a problem.”
