I was appalled to hear the need for secrecy about the agreement and taxpayer dollars spent to Gov. Whitmer's health dept. director. In a time that calls for transparency there is opaqueness. What else is being hidden? #MISenateGOP https://t.co/1E2ZesIsGE

Last week the Governor vetoed a bipartisan COVID supplemental budget. The Michigan people need this and we had to pass it for a second time. #MISenateGOP #MichiganSenate https://t.co/2j8h4MtOez
Gov. Whitmer hoped she could adopt these permanent rules without much scrutiny or attention. We won’t let that happen. There must be public comment first. To comment through the Senate, please visit: https://t.co/rgQXCH6nvK
Gov. Whitmer is using the rule making process with MIOSHA to make their COVID-19 emergency workplace rules permanent. All proposed rules are subject to a public comment. The public comment period is open until May 26. To comment through the Senate visit: https://t.co/rgQXCGOM7a https://t.co/eSgaxf7COs
In March, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) quietly submitted a proposal to make their emergency COVID-19 pandemic workplace rules permanent. These rules have to go through public comment. To comment visit: https://t.co/rgQXCGOM7a https://t.co/9fP67lD7fr
It's my favorite time of year again, March is Reading Month! This year we are not going into the classroom, but I did record a couple readings. Please enjoy and celebrate reading! #MISenateGOP #MarchIsReadingMonth #Reading https://t.co/9PafgNbV8B
Thousands of businesses have permanently closed their doors and many jobs have been lost. Making these temporary rules permanent after the virus is gone will be a disaster. Public comment must be taken before the rules are permanent. To comment, visit: https://t.co/rgQXCH6nvK https://t.co/pcdrg0RQmM
I want to wish my wife Laura a very happy and blessed birthday! You and Evelyn mean the world to me! #HappyBirthday https://t.co/Je3DeGCkfT
Last week, I presented Vikas Vij of Macomb Twp with a tribute in honor of being named the 2021 Michigan Department of Corrections Officer of the Year. In addition to helping keep us safe, Vikas has helped raise thousands of dollars for Special Olympics. https://t.co/9aF74HxYBv
Today is Grandparents' and Grandchildren's Day in Michigan ! Today and everyday is a great time to reach out to your family and enjoy each other's company. Evelyn loves spending time with her grandparents ! https://t.co/Jat8UaKAUu
