Letter to the Editor: Working collaboratively will result in smarter, more transparent plan for dealing with COVID-19 Op-ed by State Rep. Julie Calley
For the past six months, I have heard from more concerned residents than ever before. They worry about not having a job, about educating their children, about gaining access to a family member in a long-term care facility, about catching up on preventative medical care – and yes, they worry about protecting their loved ones from COVID-19. People’s lives have been flipped upside down by this virus, and the state’s response has affected the fundamental rights of all our residents. That’s why it’s so important for the voices of people all throughout our state to be considered and for factbased decisions to be made transparently, guided by data and doctors. But that’s not how things have transpired. For months, the state of Michigan has been under repeated declarations of emergency, granting elongated and singular authority to one person. Regardless of how effective the governor’s executive orders turn out to be, her inconsistencies and ambiguities have undoubtedly made dealing with COVID-19 harder than necessary for Michigan families. Protecting public health is important. So is providing transparency and accountability. There’s no reason we can’t do both. It can be accomplished
if the legislative and executive branches work together in a collaborative manner, the way our Constitution requires. Increased transparency would benefit everyone. People deserve to know what data is being used to keep businesses closed after more than six months. They deserve to know why most of the nation and two regions in northern Michigan could open gyms safely months ago, but the governor felt they had to remain closed in the rest of the state until this week. Where are the outbreaks linked to businesses that remain shuttered? This is all information my colleagues in the Legislature and I would weigh publicly if the legislative process were being used to make decisions about opening Michigan safely. The governor and I both swore an oath to our Constitution. We pledged to uphold its virtues, which include the balance of powers. One hundred forty-eight legislators come from all over the corners of the state, bringing the voices of the people they serve. By working together and seeking input from medical experts and community leaders, we can we can make fact-based decisions that allow all Michiganders to resume their lives safely and sensibly. This week, Gov. Whitmer stated that we are in the “relatively early phases” of fighting COVID-19. I agree. She has further indicated that the state of emergency may continue until a vaccine is available – even though, based

on national polling, a significant number of Americans do not heidisfarmstand.com plan to accept the initial round of vaccinations. A century ago, our nation faced a similar threat with influenza. Today, it still exists, albeit in mutated forms. It’s time to accept that COVID-19 is not going away, and we cannot live under a state of emergency forever. Moving forward, the executive and the Legislature must work collaboratively to develop a smarter plan of action for dealing with COVID-19. We must also improve transparency and con11999 Cascade Rd., Lowell • I-96 Exit 52 • 616 897-6707 • www.heidisfarmstand.com tinue to arm Michiganders with updated information that they Monday-Friday 6:30am-6pm • Saturday 7am-6pm • Closed Sunday can use to protect themselves.
