“Michigan Republicans may use a new tactic to stymie a pair of ballot initiatives that would raise the minimum wage and require paid sick leave: adopt the laws themselves ahead of the November election, then change those measures later.”

“We want a commitment that the legislators [they] won’t try and take [the minimum wage measure] over and create their own One Fair Wage amendments and gut it in lame duck session,”
