Michigan Gov. Whitmer’s residence gets security upgrade as part of $1.1M maintenance

Detroit News:

Lansing — The state-owned Michigan governor’s residence is getting security upgrades, including the construction of a new perimeter fence, after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said in May there had been an “explosion” in violent threats against her.

The “perimeter security and other safety upgrades” are under way and were planned out last year, Whitmer spokeswoman Tiffany Brown said Friday. They were scheduled to start in the early spring but were delayed until recently because of the pandemic, she said.

“Routine maintenance and upgrades are performed as needed to ensure the safety, security and protection of any sitting governor and the first family,” Brown said. more

  1. She’s only doing this to give her ego some strokes and to try to pump up some public sympathy. She ought to take a step back and realize that if somebody really wanted to take her off the board they could. The thing is that while I think she’s wholly disliked by the electorate nobody gives that much of a shit about her to do anything permanent. Her next election though ought to be a humdinger.

  2. But, But, But, Fences and walls are bad.
    Time for the de-funded police to take a night or 2 off.
    Democrats doing what Democrats do.
    My safety is important, yours isn’t.
    How “dare” these peasants come to my house.
    Just wait until I take all their money and sale their jobs to China, and they have to stand in line for food.

  3. Yeah, she sees a protestor carrying a gun and gets the vapors.

    No one threatened anyone, they just stood in front of the capitol to protest her illegal extension of her lock down. She tries everything to punish those who disagree with her.
