Gov Half-Whit: Stay Sheltering In Place Peasants, I'm Going Boating Up North!

Or alternatively titled "Lock-down or thee but not for that woman governor me".

The New York Post: Embattled Michigan governor in hot water over hubby’s boat request

The Detroit News: Purported Northern Michigan boat launch request fuels controversy for Whitmer - Yeppers, it's been confirmed that this occurred.

So our governor, after coincidentally opening up the "up north" region just before Memorial Day, strongly warned against people from the regions still on lock-down form going up north and, on this Friday evening announcing she was maintaining her stay home order until June 12.

So of course, she didn't remain home to set a good example of abiding by her orders, edicts and warnings. Oh no, she went up to her tony vacation residence up north and her hubby asked to jump in line at the marina and get their boat in the water first so they could enjoy Memorial Day on the water.

Remember that just a few weeks ago she was banning motorized boating and having people ticketed for doing so due to it being arbitrarily unsafe per her edicts.

While she told everyone else to stay home, she apparently wanted to be first in the enjoy boating up north, and probably enjoying it being less crowded due to her telling the hoi polloi to stay home.

Didn't I read today that the Governor's office tried to cover it up? If so, that needs to be investigated just as thoroughly as it would be if a Republican administration had done it.

Yes, they did. They initially denied that it had happened to State Senator Tom Barrett.

I'm sure Nessel will get right on investigating this, just as soon as she finally investigates how the Gov's office did a secret no-bid contract for contact tracing to a major Democrat donor company - this should actually occur sometime right after hell freezes over.

Yeah, and Detroit News now has it from Wretched's office that "he was just joking".

How stupid do they think we are? Yes, I already know the answer to that question.
