'I remain hopeful that Republicans in the legislature will stop the partisan games and start working with me to re-engage our economy safely and responsibly,' Whitmer said.
Although Republicans in Michigan's House of Representatives refused to allow an extension of Governor Gretchen Whitmer's stay-at-home orders on Thursday, Whitmer signed three new executive orders that effectively extended the state of emergency in Michigan until May 28, according to information from Whitmer's office.
While the first new executive order simply terminated the state of emergency currently in place in Michigan, the two other orders involved a new state of emergency and a declaration of a state of disaster. Executive Order 2020-68 places Michigan into a state of disaster. If there is no longer cause for the order by the time it expires, Whitmer will be able to terminate the order.
In a Thursday statement, Michigan Republican Party Chairman Laura Cox said Whitmer's new orders were simply"another show of politics."
