OPINION:
Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are critical of protesters who want excessive restrictions lifted so they can to return to work. These protesters include Democrats and Republicans who are facing financial hardships, and are unable to be with their families. These are some of the very people who provide the salaries and other benefits for the governor and speaker. Mrs. Pelosi, so focused on impeaching President Trump, did not allot sufficient review of the potential problems of the coronavirus, which were increasing rapidly. Mrs. Pelosi delayed the stimulus package on multiple occasions and that has created a chaotic situation for small businesses, workers and their families. The priority is not a choice between the coronavirus and the economy, but a necessary fix for both.
