Do you see eye to eye with Ms Gibbons’ assessment? I think for the most part Gov. Whitmer is doing an excellent job.
As WJBK news director Bob McBride used to say before signing off, “What do you think?”
I wish we could get this for every State.
Hell I wish we could get this for every candidate on a pamphlet before elections.
Hop on it, junior! 😁 “Every journey starts” and all that. You don’t expect me to do all the heavy lifting around here. do you? ☮
Actually, now that I think about…from November 2018…
Courtesy of your friend and mine, The Internet Archive. Donate, ya bums. Still doing the heavy lifting cos I love you all. Regarding the other 49 governors, that’s up to you.
I think the ones marked incomplete fall into the category of either very general or extremely tough to accomplish. I’m still happy with the progress made and our state government currently.
