Michigan repeals law that gave Gov. Gretchen Whitmer emergency powers

[NYPOST] In a rebuke to Gretchen Whitmer

...Her Excellency, the dictator of Michigan, 2020 Dem VP contender who never got off the ground...
, the Republican-led Michigan state House of Representatives repealed a 76-year-old law that gave the governor broad emergency powers used to lock down much of the state during the COVID-19 pandemic.In a 60-48 vote mainly along party lines, the Emergency Powers Act of 1945 was officially scuttled. The state Senate had already voted to kill the act last week.

Though the legislation does not take effect immediately it was a clear shot at Whitmer, whose strict shut-down policies stirred protests last year, but also made her a political darling among Democrats.

Because the law came to the state legislature by a petition drive, under Michigan law it is not subject to a veto from Whitmer and will go into effect 90 days after the legislative session.

#8 You don't want to give would-be tyrants too much power. You also don't want to let them take it either.
