Whitmer to sign $4.8B spending plan, wants to tackle gas tax relief next

Gretchen Whitmer and Macomb County leaders celebrated the passage of a $4.8 billion spending plan as a bipartisan success story that will benefit a wide range of Michigan residents. Whitmer intends to sign into law supplemental spending bills largely paid for by federal coronavirus relief funds and an infrastructure law passed by Congress last year. Whitmer is offering the pause as an alternative to repealing the state’s 27-cent tax on gas, which was supported by Republican lawmakers. Of that, $3.1 billion is from federal COVID-19 funds and $945.4 million is from the federal Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Whitmer said she’s hopeful that this will create momentum for spending more of the remaining federal American Rescue Plan funds.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — After deliberating all week, jurors said Friday morning that they had reached a verdict on several charges in the trial of four men accused of plotting to kidnap the governor of Michigan but that they were deadlocked on other charges.

And for governor . . .

Unless the few polls that we've seen are way off--and if they are off this much, we'll never trust them again statewide--then the two primaries for governor are walkaways, if not runaways. And on the Democratic side of the primary election, Chris Jones seems to be heading for a win without a runoff, too. His father took him somewhere, and he noticed a man at the center of attention called "a governor." He turned to his father:"I said, 'What's a governor?' For the record: We recommend FOR Sarah Sanders in the Republican primary for governor and FOR Chris Jones in the Democratic primary for governor.
