Whitmer, a Democrat, says Republican leaders adjourned for the year, wrapping up a post-election session that she calls “unproductive” and signaled vetoes will be coming.
“They passed some things that were not negotiated, so you can anticipate what the fate is going to be of those items and I’ll just stay focused on working with the new Democratic majorities in the House and Senate.”
Whitmer says her to-do list includes moving up Michigan’s presidential primary and adopting a business incentives package. Republican leaders warn those new Democratic majorities will be slim and Whitmer’s still going to have to bargain to get things done in 2023.
