Michigan GOP lawmakers propose new COVID-19 response plan
Gretchen Whitmerโs COVID-19 emergency orders struck down by the Michigan Supreme Court, GOP lawmakers are stepping in and offering their own potential response plan. Much like Whitmerโs response, lawmakers say theirs also relies on data -- but there is one key difference. The lawmakers suggest changing the COVID-19 response plans from what they believe to be a โone size fits allโ model, and instead are using specific data to address the virus county by county. We used public health experts and doctors to formulate a plan that works for Michigan,โ said Rep. Greg VanWoerkom (MI-91). Under the new plan, officials say local residents and small businesses would have more of a say in whatโs being done to address COVID-19 in their area.
