Governor Gretchen Whitmer said Michigan is resilient and pledged more bipartisanship during her virtual State of the State address Wednesday night. The Governor announced last night a “Michigan Back to Work” plan to help grow the economy and get Michiganders back on their feet with initiatives and projects dealing with tech, mobility, manufacturing, clean energy and road construction. She also said she would be reconvening the members of the Return to School Advisory Council to provide
guidance to policymakers, districts and schools about how best to promote a recovery. Her budget will include funds for academic recovery, school infrastructure improvements, and support for students’ physical and mental health. Near the end of the 24 minute address, the Governor said she would be going on a “Fixing the Damn Road Ahead” tour to focus on what unites us, improve how we talk to each other, and fix the road ahead.
