The Republican-led chamber rejected more than a dozen Gov. Gretchen Whitmer appointees to various boards and commissions Wednesday as a show of disapproval against her COVID-19 response, hours ahead of her scheduled State of the State address.
MLive reported that Senate Minority Leader Jim Ananich, D-Flint, said:
“This is rank politics.We’re in divided government. Maybe you haven’t gotten the memo, but I’m going to let you know. It takes compromise, it takes a two-way street, not just getting up here whining”
Good to know that at least once in a blue moon the Republicans in Michigan will use their power even if it appears to be “rank politics”. Whitmer has been doing so for 10 months and her democratic colleagues in the House and Senate do so whenever possible. What would you call switching your votes because Whitmer vetoed a bill that you helped pass and you did not want to send a veto-proof bill back to her desk? Senator Ananich was one of those who switched his vote if Whitmer told him to.
