Whitmer to propose paid leave, health care reforms
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Michigan Democrats are set to flex their legislative muscles this week.
Why it matters: Following eight months of implementing liberal reform under an entirely Democratic government, Whitmer will use her “What’s Next” address Wednesday in Lansing to call on legislative leaders to pass reforms for the second half of the year.
- Typically the governor would outline the yearlong agenda during her State of the State address, but Whitmer is set to make a second address this year for the first time since she’s been in office.
