The local news has passing reference to the resignations. I think todays presser from Whitmer rolling back occupancy restrictions is timed to take attention from the story.

Families of those who died in nursing homes due to COVID after positive patients were introduced into an otherwise COVID free environment need to contact the MSP and file Gross Criminal Negligence charges against Whitmer.

Meanwhile in PA, liberal media is heaping praise on our glorious Gov Wolf because on Monday he eased occupancy restrictions on restaurants & bars from 10% capacity to a whopping 15% (including employees).

A 120 year old company closed by our governor's draconian rules.
Lots of blather in the media about Michigans "surging cases" and "overwhelmed hospitals". In her latest presser, Whitmer wants people to avoid indoor dining and pause youth sports. I would guess its only a matter time before a return to full lockdown.

For todays episode of the theater of the absurd, I will feature the awarding of the JFK "Profiles in Courage" Award for 2021. Caroline Kennedy will make the presentation. The award cites those "who put their own lives at risk" during the pandemic. Drum roll.... And the winners are: 1- Mitt Romney. Because he was the only Republican to vote to convict Trump. 2- Gretchen Whitmer. Because she is so hated over her Michigan lock down policy that people actually plotted to kill her. 3- Amy Acton. Who oversaw the lockdown in Ohio. 4- Burnell Cotlon. A NOLA Grocer who gave away free groceries to people who lost their jobs due to lock downs. 5- Fred Freeman. A Hanover MA Fire Captain and registered nurse who organized C-19 testing for homebound residents. 6- Lauren Leander. An activist pro lock down nurse who confronted anti lock down protestors. 7- Darnel Marks. Academic advocate for Arizona Indian tribes.
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) took a private jet to Florida in March, violating the spirit of her orders for everyone else not to travel.
Deadline Detroit reported Whitmer “asked a group of wealthy Detroit businessmen to provide a private plane they share” so she could travel to Florida. She later said it was so she could visit her “ailing” father.
“We wondered why she reached out to us instead of booking a private charter,” one of the owners said, speaking on the condition of anonymity. “You can’t tell a governor no. Who needs that kind of trouble?”
Reporting for Deadline Detroit, Charlie LeDuff said Whitmer spent four days in Florida, not the two she claimed:
She flew on the businessmen’s Gulfstream G-280 twin jet. It was cold and clear on the morning of March 12 when she lifted off from Lansing and it was warm and sunny when she touched down in West Palm Beach at 9:37 a.m., federal flight records show.
She left West Palm Beach on Monday March 15 at 4:37 p.m. She touched down at 7:01 p.m in Lansing.
LeDuff said the anonymous businessmen “have major dealings in and with the state of Michigan.”
Whitmer’s office refused to provide additional details about the governor’s trip, citing “ongoing security concerns.”
But Deadline Detroit noted Whitmer’s office did not notify Florida law enforcement that she would be in the state, raising doubts about the sincerity of her office’s excuses.
Whitmer previously complained to the Washington Post that criticisms of her apparent hypocrisy were “maddening.”
“It was certainly not spring break,” she said, the Detroit News reported. “I was doing both my job as governor from a distance and being that of a daughter who was helping out a parent who needed a little help.”
According to the Michigan Constitution, the lieutenant governor acts as governor when the sitting governor is “absent from the state.”
The Gulfstream G-280 can accommodate 10 passengers. It is not clear if Whitmer traveled alone or took others with her.
“It’s maddening,” Whitmer said of the criticism and allegations of hypocrisy, adding, “A lot of these same people would accuse me of not having family values if I didn’t show up when a family member needed some help.”
Whitmer’s office said she went to visit her “elderly father who is battling a chronic illness.”
But Great Lakes News spotted her father, Richard Whitmer, back in the state just days later at “a Lansing shopping area and was seen getting into a Tesla and driving away.”
PA's Grantor of Freedoms, His Majesty, Gov. Wolf will lift covid capacity restrictions on restaurants & bars on May 31st.
If it's going to be safe on the 31st, then why isn't it safe for the holiday weekend before, to help businesses recover from his childish mandates?
Mask mandates will remain in place of course, because everybody knows that covid spreads only when you enter or leave a restaurant, and not when you're sitting around eating or drinking beer.
