@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe How is she supposed to get around pressure for investment in the state while the state has been told, "the project will not require any additional power generation to operate, and will use a closed loop water cooling system that will not require additional water from the Great Lakes" and DTE assures the state that consumers won't be dinged for increases in utility costs related to the facility?
This is *exactly* why winning a majority in both state houses is essential. 1/2

@SallyStrange@eldritch.cafe 2/2 This state has a problem with getting bills signed into law because of the MIGOP's stranglehold. Do you think they would have allowed any bill throttling the Ellisons to be signed let alone get submitted to the state senate? In this environment, how do you think Whitmer - who's lived through threats of kidnapping and execution - is supposed to play this except to make safe noises? https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-supremes-weigh-fate-of-nine-blocked-bills/
