MDP Chair Lavora Barnes weighs in on lawsuit filing
“The dog and pony show that Senator Shirkey and Representative Chatfield dragged out this morning is just that – a show meant to distract from the real business at hand. Their inability to grasp that we are in the middle of a global health crisis and lives are at risk is an embarrassment. Michigan has lost over 4000 lives to COVID-19. If that isn’t a wake-up call, I don’t know what is.
The Michigan GOP is wasting the court’s time and the taxpayer’s dime. Money and time that would be much better spent providing our nurses with the necessary PPEs, helping our teachers and students with needed tools to ensure they can continue to learn, and protecting the health of correctional workers.”
