The Upper Peninsula and several counties in the northern Lower Peninsula will be allowed to reopen bars and restaurants in a reduced capacity, as well as other retail or office businesses, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is expected to announce Monday.

In a statement to the Associated Press, Whitmer said bars and restaurants in two northern regions of the state could soon reopen with 50 percent limited capacity. Servers would be required to wear face coverings and groups would be required to stay 6 feet apart.

“This is a big step, but we must all remember to continue doing our part to protect ourselves and our families from the spread of COVID19,” Whitmer said in a statement provided to the Associated Press.

Whitmer is expected to discuss the move during a 1:30 p.m. news briefing.

“Okay. Restaurants and bars I like may open at reduced capacity. But if any violations occur - a single one - I will shut everything back down until 2029! And the culprits will be dealt with by the police. And their little doggies, too!”

Re-election? Bye Bye B

Surely by now the entire state is sick of her. And her arrogant servants.

So the part of the state where nobody lives. Yeah, right.

Whitmer may do well to look up what happened to her fellow tyrant, Nicolae Ceausescu.
People are not going to forget her oppressive regime in a hurry.

Gretch the Wretch is about two months late in following “The Science”.

Plus she is geographically challenged.

In her crazed attempt to tank the economy and get President Trump defeated in November, she has instead guaranteed President Trump’s reelection.
Out of pure hatred of Whitmer and her tyrannical regime, Trump supporters are going to come out en mass in November in Michigan and win the state for him.

That's pretty damn good coming from Fuhrer Whitmer! Congratulations to the good people of Michigan.

Meanwhile, here in The People's Soviet Socialist Republik of Connecticut, we can't even go to a hair salon or barber shop, nor a ton of other places. Restaurants can only reopen if they have *outside only* dining, and with a super-reduced capacity. Which will kill off most existing CT restaurants. It SUCKS here!

She has to make it seem like she’s in charge, since many are ignoring her “orders”.

You would think so. It astonishes me that some are such ideologue’s they still can’t bring themselves to see what she’s doing is wrong. Implementing the same policies today that were based on knowing nothing over 2 months ago is idiotic.

Wednesday will be a mass hair-cut day at the capitol building in Lansing.

Can’t wait for history to be re-written in two years when she is up for re-election. How she saved Michigan from certain disaster, yada, yada, yada...

She knows once Wisconsin opened she couldn’t hold the UP back.

She has subscribed to a new policy—when you are being run out of town, get out front and try to make it look like a parade.
