Ah yes, what a day. And what was the topic of the #MIPowerGrab? It was #PaidSickLeave & an adopt-and-amend “strategy” re: the #mileg snatched-up ballot proposal. Had it remained in-tact, thousands more Michiganders would’ve had access to it during the #Covid19 pandemic.
#FBF: 2yrs ago today, the #MIPowerGrab of lame duck 2018. The blue wave had just washed over MI, flipping the Gov's seat & FIVE Senate seats (11 Ds vs 27 Rs ➡️ 16-22 now). The GOP was prepping for divided govt, scrambling to ram their agenda through, & Michiganders fought back.

Welcome to the PEOPLE'S house. Michiganders packed the rotunda today to make it loud and clear: Power belongs with the people. Michiganders are working harder than ever to build the better Michigan that we all envision. #MichiganDeservesBetter #MIPowerGrab #GOPShameDuck #mileg
BREAKING: Senate Republicans passed HB 6553, giving the GOP legislature power to influence court cases. They could intervene in #LGBTQ adoption cases, let corporate polluters off the hook & keep laws gutting #minimumwage, paid #sickleave & #prevailingwage. #MIPowerGrab #lameduck
HEADS UP: MI Republicans are taking the #MIPowerGrab to a new level after losing the election. On their way out the door, they’re trying to give themselves power to influence court cases ranging from health care to worker freedoms. 1/6 #mileg #lameduck https://t.co/kyxnHHMAbX
Republican lawmakers are dead set on keeping themselves in power by viciously undermining the will of the people. EVERYONE is sick of this power grab, Democrats and Republicans alike. #mileg #MIPowerGrab #GOPShameDuck

#WIPowerGrab WE HAVE TO PROTEST #CultureOfCorruption #MIPowerGrab #NC09
#OurVoiceOurVote #DidIAlreadySayCultureOfCorruption Plan a Peaceful Protest
This is GREAT NEWS: This legislation would've stripped away the duties and responsibilities of the incoming secretary of state. It was a part of the #MIPowerGrab to undermine the voters and trash our democracy on their way out the door.
BREAKING - House GOP will not take up one of the most controversial bills of the lame-duck session, moving campaign finance oversight away from secretary of state and to a commission. The bill was seen as a GOP ploy to weaken incoming Democratic Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
I am SO tired of hearing we need to rush rush rush because there are other bills. For the love of God that's your fault! 600,000 acres of wetlands and 4500 inland lakes are at risk! None of this should be rushed #DAMNITmichigan!

#MILameDuck may be taking its toll on me.
But at least my legacy isn't the #FlintWaterCrisis, Right to Work, Risking our #GreatLakes for #Line5, Emergency Managers, destroying paid sick time and minimum wage...
...see y'all in Lansing!

#HelloDarkness
Michiganders voted overwhelmingly to end #gerrymandering. But once again, Republicans have refused to listen. You've said loud and clear that rigging the rules to stay in power is not how democracy should work. #mileg #MIPowerGrab

"The idea that, if our party loses the election, we'll rearrange the powers of government, is one step short of cancelling elections altogether.” — Howard Schweber, political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. #MIPowerGrab #mileg

@swingleft It wasn't on the ballot because they knew it would pass. Our bitter AG fixed it so they could pass it and then amend it (whittle to nothing) in the same session.
There's plenty to be pissed off about re #MIPowerGrab. Please get the details right. They still stole our vote here.
After getting beaten badly Nov. 6th, the Michigan @GOP moved to curtail ballot initiatives, the latest proposal assailed by critics as an unconstitutional, lame-duck power grab from voters or incoming Democratic officeholders. https://t.co/DtatT5A3A2 #MIPowerGrab
#MILameDuck Action:
#HB6965 would make it INCREDIBLY difficult for constitution amending ballot proposals from citizens - Like Props 1, 2, 3 we just passed - from ever getting on the ballot. Targeted call list and background here ⬇️
