LANSING, Mich. — On her first full day on the job Wednesday, Governor Gretchen Whitmer is set to sign an executive order.
She has scheduled a news briefing in Lansing to sign the order she claims will protect public health, safety, and welfare.
The 47-year-old former state lawmaker from East Lansing took the oath of office Tuesday in a swearing-in ceremony outside the state Capitol building.
Whitmer, Michigan's second female governor, said Michigan's problems are not partisan ones. She said potholes, clean water, great schools and better job skills "are not political," and she pledged to be a "governor for everyone."
Wednesday's briefing is happening at 1 p.m. at the Capitol and FOX 47 will be there.
