Group tops 400K signatures to repeal Michigan Gov. Whitmerโ€™s virus powers

Gretchen Whitmer, faced with lawsuits challenging her use of emergency powers to fight the coronavirus, could continue to prevail in court. If at least 340,000 signatures are deemed valid by the state elections board, the GOP-controlled Legislature would likely repeal the 1945 law rather than let it go to a 2022 public vote. A 1976 law, which requires legislative approval to extend a state of emergency, would remain intact. He urged people to consider if they would be OK with 2018 gubernatorial candidate Bill Schuette or President Donald Trump, both Republicans, wielding emergency powers permanently with no need to consult lawmakers. If the 1945 law is rescinded, Whitmer's ability to reimpose restrictions would be subject to legislative negotiation.

Petition started to remove Bedford school board member Todd Bruning

BEDFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. โ€“ A petition and a Facebook group has been started with the goal of recalling Todd Bruning from his position with the Bedford Township School Board.

The Bedford Public Schools Board of Education does not endorse any statements made by individual Board Members."
