Gretchen Whitmer's administration rolled back the remaining statewide pandemic orders. The test positivity rate is up more than 600% over the same time frame, according to a review of state data.

I just don't know how we got to this point how this ridiculous thing, a simple mask on someone's face, has become so divisive and political, said Davidson, who lives in Ottawa County and has children in a local school system. ............(more)
