“Whether and how to discipline employees is a core executive power entrusted in part to the Governor and in part to the Michigan Civil Service Commission,” she said. “Because this legislation violates the constitutional separation of powers... I am vetoing it.”

Barrett pointed out that the bill was unanimously approved in the legislature June 24.

“It’s highly disappointing,” he said. “The legislature passed unanimously. We really worked in a bipartisan fashion to furnish this bill and to protect state employees that bring forth credible information for us to review in the legislature... We have to be willing to protect people that come forward to their legislature.”

Whitmer pointed out that she signed an executive order in January 2019 that offered whistleblower protections to state employees reporting health, safety, or welfare issues within their agencies. While protections for reporting criminal behavior within agencies are already on the books, Barrett argued the legislation would have protected “other concerns brought forward.”

This isn't quite as bad as throwing sick people in nursing homes, but it is indefensible. What is Karen hiding?
