THREAD: Saving lives and keeping people healthy is our top priority, and we are certainly willing to extend the governor’s emergency powers for that reason. But 70 more days is too long of an extension to provide right now.
What about the hundreds of thousands of Michigan residents who have lost their jobs? What do you say to the elderly shut-ins isolated from their families and friends? We cannot ask them to abandon all hope for another 10 weeks.
We should extend the governor’s powers for a shorter timeframe and adjust as needed. #mileg
