Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer needs to revise the recent extension to her stay-at-home order or risk doing serious harm to the state's economy, including potentially driving hundreds of companies out of business, the head of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce said on Thursday.
DETROIT - Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer needs to revise the recent extension to her stay-at-home order or risk doing serious harm to the state’s economy, including potentially driving hundreds of companies out of business, the head of the Michigan Chamber of Commerce said on Thursday.
Whitmer extended the state’s stay-at-home order last week through the end of April and added some restrictions for businesses in an effort to stop the spread of the virus. She has faced attacks from Republicans in Michigan who say her more restrictive order was unnecessarily straining the state’s economy.
Michigan, a crucial swing state that U.S. President Donald Trump narrowly won in 2016, has faced one of the fastest growing infection rates for the new coronavirus, but a growing group of residents wants to reopen the state’s economy. On Wednesday, thousands of demonstrators in cars with horns honking snarled the state Capitol to protest Whitmer’s order.
He said that in her latest order, Whitmer missed an opportunity to revise and update the list of jobs and employers who would qualify as critical infrastructure to match federal standards, something 20 of the 26 states with stay-at-home orders have done.
