   @rbreich I've had jobs where I was forced to be in a union. It sucked.

     Both chambers of the Michigan legislature voted to pass a bill repealing the state's right-to-work law.

     Governor Gretchen Whitmer plans to sign it, making Michigan the first state in nearly 60 years to ditch one of these anti-union laws.

     This is a big deal.

     @rbreich

     Whitmer is the best the Democrats have to be Biden's successor.

     She has changed an almost red Michigan to blue.

     "so many Michigan Republicans said they'd consider voting Biden if it meant it would get Whitmore out of Lansing"

     I do think they'd have kept their word. Republicans are just so trustworthy that way.

     Plus, if she has the wherewithal to tamper with Republican primaries, it'd help.

     @fu yep…
     But our “Nasty Woman” protected the right to abortion in MI…
     For that alone…folks voted for her.
     But there’s been other things…
     Did ya like your share of the $800 of the auto surpluses?

     But as you correctly point out…
     It would’ve been a closer race…
     If the MI GOP wasn’t so crooked(remember the police chief forgeries).
