State board votes 4-0 to certify petition to revoke Michigan Gov. Whitmer emergency powershttps://justthenews.com/nation/states/board-state-canvassers-certifies-unlock-michigan-petitionAfter two orders from the Michigan Supreme Court, the State Board of Canvassers unanimously certified the Unlock Michigan petition aiming to revoke Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's emergency powers.
The petition heads to the GOP-led Legislature. The spokeswoman for Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey of Clarklake, Abby Walls, said lawmakers intend to enact the petition "as soon as we are able."
Fred Wszolek, the spokesman for Unlock Michigan, welcomed the news.
"We're looking forward to the next and final step on the long read: passage by the Michigan House and Senate of our initiative to repeal this law so abused by Governor Whitmer," Wszolek said in a statement.
Not being familiar with MI law, does this force the legislature to vote on the petition or does it force the legislature to vote on whether this petition will be a ballot initiative?
