Billboard mocks Whitmer as 'Indiana Business Person of the Year'
Fox News
An Indiana businessman is poking fun at Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, posting a digital billboard near the states’ border that refers to the Democratic governor as the 2020 “Indiana Business Person of the Year.”
"I’m not anti-Michigan at all, but I certainly feel for the people of Michigan, business owners and operators," Swick told the website. Whitmer is one of several Democratic governors who drew criticism during the pandemic for implementing stringent lockdown measures. While the Michigan governor argued the measures are necessary to protect public health, critics said the guidelines are too restrictive and have damaged small businesses already struggling to survive during the pandemic. Michigan business groups have urged Whitmer to set data-based reopening guidelines, according to MLive. Restaurants and other small businesses are still subject to capacity limits.More Related News
