LANSING, MI (MPRN)-- The Legislature’s Republican leaders offered mixed reviews to Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s proposed agenda for 2019.
State House Speaker Lee Chatfield says he’s still waiting to see details on a spending plan to fix Michigan’s roads. But Chatfield says he’s ready to work with Governor Whitmer on finding ways to reduce the cost of auto insurance.
“And that’s something we need to focus on because as we travel the state, the high cost of car insurance does not discriminate based on political parties,” he says.
The Republican leader say he’s not on board with the new governor’s call to expand Michigan’s civil rights law to provide protections against LGBT discrimination.
