Whitmer Vetoes Spark Legislative Firestorm | Lansing News

Governor Gretchen Whitmer just vetoed nine recently passed bills — including ones on health insurance, corrections officer pensions, public assistance protections, and a museum millage — citing legal and budgetary hurdles, sparking outrage from labor unions who call it a betrayal of working families. The bills, passed by Democrats 18 months ago, were only delivered to her office late, fueling a procedural clash between the House and Senate. Critics, including a Senate lawyer, say her justifications are legally shaky and that alternatives existed. While Whitmer says she’s open to revisiting these issues later, passing them through the current Republican-controlled House looks unlikely.
