  1. WHITMER SUED BY MICHIGAN HOUSE FOR OVERSTEPPING HER AUTHORITY
    LANSING, Mich. (WXYZ/AP) — The Republican-led Michigan House refused Thursday to extend the state’s coronavirus emergency declaration and voted to authorize a lawsuit challenging Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s authority and actions to combat the pandemic.


    The step came as hundreds of conservative activists returned to the Capitol to denounce Whitmer’s stay-at-home measure.

    Whitmer wanted lawmakers to extend her emergency declaration by 28 days. It expires late Thursday. But at the same time, she believes she has other powers to respond to the crisis and does not need a legislatively-approved extension except to ensure that health care workers would continue to have special legal protections. She has said the state of emergency will continue regardless.

    The declaration is the foundation for Whitmer’s stay-at-home order and other directives aimed at slowing the spread of the coronavirus, which has infected more than 40,000 Michigan residents and contributed to the deaths of 3,670.

    Outside the Capitol, speakers took turns addressing a crowd on the lawn. Meanwhile, drivers leaned on their horns as they traveled past, a repeat of what occurred April 15 but not close to the thousands who participated in vehicles at that time, which paralyzed traffic for miles.
