Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has accused Republicans of 'putting their heads in the sand and putting more lives and livelihoods at risk.'
Chatfield said the decision should send a clear message to Whitmer that lawmakers are ready to"take the next steps" if the governor refuses to make concessions on the state's stringent lockdown policies.
The state's Senate voted in favor of a similar resolution, giving Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey, also a Republican, the power to file litigation against Whitmer as well.
