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.
