Its almost like all of this covid response should have included the legislature all along...

Oh snap!

The governor bypassed them but there was never was ANY need to do that!

Other legislation passed Wednesday would stop nursing homes from caring for elderly individuals with COVID-19 unless the facilities can provide proof of a "designated area" for them and the appropriate level of care.

The bill also would require the state to develop indoor and outdoor visitation policies for nursing homes. The legislation passed unanimously.

Another bill, introduced by Rep. Leslie Love, D-Detroit, would require nursing homes and other long-term care facilities to submit reports with a variety of data including the number of COVID-19 cases, deaths and recoveries, staff shortages, number of tests conducted and the number of isolation deaths. The bill passed unanimously.

This passed unanimously despite the earlier governors veto!

Whitmer should held accountable for those nursing home deaths.

Name me a time when the executive branch and the legislative branch haven't fought over who gets to make all the decisions. This is not exclusive to covid. Both Granholm and Snyder had the same challenges.

That's how it's supposed to work. They can argue all they want, but there should be some consensus on the actions. You're not supposed to unilaterally take charge and bulldoze your way though.

Whitmer should held accountable for those nursing home deaths.

Absolutely and agreed.

The media loves her, never going to happen. They don't want to portray in her a bad light. She's the Queen with a stinger.

That is what pissed me off putting those that had COVID into nursing homes Whitmer isn't ever going answer those questions. She also needs to be held accountable as you said Audio.

Whitmer should held accountable for those nursing home deaths.

Agreed.

Don't expect our state or local media to do it, though.

They barely pressed Snyder on the 40,000 unemployed Michigan residents who had money extorted from them by the Michigan UIA, and I'm sure the same treatment will be afforded Whitmer.

The media in this state like to treat whomever occupies the Governor's office as a celebrity.

Have I mentioned recently that I voted for Bill Schuette and not Gretchen Whitmer?

I held my nose too MW - for the same reasons that don't care for Kamala Harris.

Both are Lawyers and Prosecutors and they often make terrible executives.

Whitmer is just a one trick pony Lawyer.

Is Whitmer even a legitimate lawyer? She was a terrible Ingham County prosecutor.

Go read her resume and try to convince me that she's a one-trick pony.
