AllGold, thank you for the primer.
The legislature (actually, the Michigan Supreme Court) did in fact take away the governor's emergency powers, but failed--so far--at doing the same with the health department so a state-wide mask mandate is still in effect along with 50% capacity and a curfew on indoor dining and bars.
There is a petition drive to nullify the law that gives emergency powers. They have enough signatures and if certified, it can go directly to the Republican-majority legislature and it will be veto proof.

I’m not up on what Michigan has for restrictions. Masks in commercial buildings, limited indoor dining, etc.? Or did the legislature wrest control from the governor and open the state?
