GOP-held state legislatures in Wisconsin and Michigan are trying to limit new Democratic governors’ powers
“The last election changed the state in a way that apparently the legislature has decided to not accept,” said Evers, who defeated Gov. Scott Walker (R) in November. Evers told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that “everything’s on the table” in terms of attempting to block the GOP plan, including legal action.
The Republicans, who have enjoyed single-party rule in the state for close to a decade, are gearing up this week to pass a suite of changes in an “extraordinary session” — which is where the legislature calls itself back after the session ends — that would, among other things, limit early voting; move the Wisconsin 2020 presidential primary from March, when Democratic turnout will be high, to April (an apparent effort to boost the chances of a conservative judge in that April’s state Supreme Court election); restrict the governor’s ability to make certain appointments; and otherwise hand more power to the state legislature.
In Michigan, where Democrats last month won the governor’s mansion as well as the races for attorney general and secretary of state, Republican lawmakers last week introduced measures that would water down the authority of those positions on campaign finance oversight and other legal matters. All three statewide winners are women, as one Detroit Free Press columnist pointed out.
A spokeswoman for the incoming secretary of state Jocelyn Benson decried the move as “shameful,” the Free Press reported.
The moves in both states have drawn comparisons to Republican efforts
in North Carolina in 2016, when lawmakers pushed through legislation limiting the authority of Roy Cooper, the state’s Democratic governor, after he defeated incumbent Gov. Pat McCrory (R).

What can I say, good luck to Trump, Trump is going to be impeached, the GOP will have no choice in the Senate. The GOP has played partisan and dirty for a long time and now its finally noticed just how underhanded they are. Two can play at the same game, and I hope the newly elected govenors write executive orders to do away with whatever the GOP puts in before the end of the year.
Why are you so mad? The Republicans learned from the best cheaters ever...the democrats.
.
Really, the GOP has been in charge of the Senate in MI since 1984, The SOS since 1995 and the Attn Gen since 2001 and Engler for 12 years, 12 years with Devos ruined Detroit public schools and Snyder was behind the Flint water crisis.
We have pollution with PFAS everywhere, the road are bad everywhere.
They have gerrymandered the state so bad it hard to get them out, but the people voted by voting in the Gov, AG, and SOS all women and all democrats. We will clean this state up.GOP-held state legislatures in Wisconsin and Michigan are trying to limit new Democratic governors’ powers

Just random facts, that I will put here
Did a Man Start Crashing His Car After Receiving a Woman’s Brain in a Transplant
A man got into five separate auto accidents shortly after receiving a woman's brain in a transplant...
In this case, World News Daily Report (WNDR) “reported” that a Pennsylvania man emerged relatively healthy after an unusual operation, only to find that “he literally forgot how to drive”:
MAN WHO HAD WOMAN’S BRAIN TRANSPLANTED HAS FIVE CAR CRASHES IN TWO WEEKS
A man who had his own brain replaced by a woman’s brain in September during a groundbreaking medical procedure had five car accidents in less than two weeks since he was released from the hospital …
He received the brain of a 37-year old woman who had died in a car accident and the operation had unforeseen consequences for the poor man.
What does this have to do with the OP??
PS: they do not do brain transplants.
The picture does, when was the last time Detroit had a republican mayor?
