Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s 2024 State of the State address is

Yes, there will be a quiz afterward. Pay attention, take notes.
The “scorecard” according to BridgeMichigan’s Lauren Gibbons…
- [X] Make headway on gun reforms: Yes

* At least we're not Ohio -- rr
- [X] Expand LGBTQ rights: Yes
- [ ] Fix the damn roads: Incomplete
- [ ] Economic development: Incomplete

(When, oh, when will Lemmy support complete Markdown instead of this half-assed implementation?! Lemmy: the Kalashnikov of social media 🤦♂️)
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 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.
