"A ballot drive to repeal a Michigan law that gives the governor emergency powers has gathered more than 400,000 signatures as of Friday.

Unlock Michigan is about 100,000 signatures away from its 500,000-signature goal in support of revoking the 1945 law that Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) has used to issue coronavirus restrictions statewide, including mandates on masks, social distancing and social gatherings, The Associated Press reported. 

If the state elections board determines that at least 340,000 of the signatures are valid, then the Republican-controlled legislature would likely move to repeal the law rather than wait for a 2022 public vote. Whitmer would not be able to veto the repeal. 

The potential repeal would leave a 1976 law permitting the governor to declare a state of emergency in place."

My local city tried to re-enact a 1945 law to give the mayor dictatorial powers. It had been deemed outdated in the nineties and repealed.

A very loud and vocal protest scared the democrat majority city council and mayor enough for them to drop it, for now.

They tried three times to pass a mask mandate, we have stopped them every time on that too. So instead they bought up every bill board in town and put a message on it saying basically that if you ever want to enjoy life again you have to wear a mask.

Petty wannabes are always trying to gain and expand their control. 

Power = money the only reason politicians do anything.

Yes, we should all be doing that to Reinforce that Our Constitutional Rights are not Negotiable.

when Wisconsin`s Absent Governor was deciding whether he would Mandate that People be Forcibly Quarantined in Their Homes if they test Positive for The China Plague, People Marched on Madison Our Local Police Chief made a Statement that Law Enforcement would not Enforce that Ordinance.

that showing made our Governor`s Decision for him.

because as the Dems, made Clear in Wisconsin, a Recall Election is now Frighteningly Easy...
