I think it is fine to make observations to the governor in what someone believes might be short-sighted, but, whatever happened to the fact the state executive knows more than the legislature?
No one wants a successful economy more than Governor Whitmer. She knows all to well the effects of the migration of jobs out of Michigan to places like Mexico. She also knows the Michigan economy.

So, I believe Governor Whitmer knows what she is doing and no one really has the responsibility she has today or tomorrow.
