Rep. Phil Green of Millington today issued a statement after the Michigan House voted to restore representative democracy and end the governor’s unilateral control over the state’s COVID-19 response:

“With these votes today, we took the first steps back to a representative form of government. The plan approved by the Michigan House would return governance to the hands of the people.

“Taxpayers and families in Huron and Tuscola counties expect their elected leaders to work together at all times – especially during tough times such as these with COVID-19. People have serious concerns about how the governor has handled this situation so far. I am counting on the governor to work with us to safely reopen the state of Michigan.”
