House Republicans Don’t Want to Work, Dems Should Vote
LANSING – Progress Michigan Executive Director Sam Inglot released the following statement regarding Michigan House Republicans walking off the floor and refusing to vote:
“Republican state representatives have walked off the house floor. They did this to appease their corporate overlords who want them to gut higher wages and sick leave for workers. If Republican lawmakers don’t want to do their jobs, then House Democratic leadership should start to put bills up for a vote and move on without them. There are plenty of progressive, pro-worker, pro-environment, pro-freedom policies they can act on right now. Republicans have sent a message about who they work for and Democrats should use the opportunity to do the same.”
