Whitmer’s State of the State and Andy Sarpolis joins us to talk about the Green New Deal. Michigan Policast Episode 34
Michigan Policast for Monday, February 18, 2019
Governor Whitmer’s first State of the State focused on bipartisanship and opportunity, but it was met with a lukewarm response by the Republicans.
* The Republicans don’t have to like everything, but why no love for the women?
* Governor established her credibility with this State of the State. Can reasonable people agree that she knows the lawmakers’ jobs better than many of the lawmakers do?
* No more half-baked solutions, we just can’t afford it.
* Would Mike Shirkey have looked better in a different color suit? We think he should smile more.
In my speech I was encouraging people to see the humanity in one another in this cruel political environment. In an era when so many women are stepping up to lead, I’m hoping people will focus on our ideas and accomplishments instead of our appearance.

Christine cusses at 13:38. It’s this word that starts with a B. We promise that it has educational value in this context.
While we questioned why the women didn’t get a more enthusiastic response from the Republicans, we do give credit and thanks where it’s due. House Speaker Lee Chatfield showed his support for Governor Whitmer after Fox 2 News published the story on her appearance:
I just saw @FOX2News story about Gov. @gretchenwhitmer’s apparel for #SOTS address. The story is ridiculous & never should have given these losers a platform to make these inappropriate statements. Her speech was what mattered! I support her 100% on this! #MyGovernor #GetALife
