A Proposal By The Gov For Outright Election Year Bribery

So what do you call it when during an election year a Governor who's been doing a pretty lousy job overall promises a bounty of $2,000+ annually to each of her strongest supporters?

A "retention bonus".

The Detroit News: Whitmer to propose $2,000 annual retention bonuses for teachers, staff

Well, it's only $2.3 Billion of our tax money over 4 years - with per the article most to be spent -- per Whitmer's urging, not surprisingly in this (election) year.

Funny how that works.

Pretty much an outright payoff and bribery to some of her key supporters - the Michigan Educational Association and its members - with other people's money.
