(WWJ) Governor Gretchen Whitmer will deliver her third State of the State address on Wednesday, January 27.
It will be virtually for the first time in the state’s history due to the coronavirus pandemic, in accordance with the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and State Health Department’s guidance.
In normal times, Governor Whitmer would deliver the State of The State to a joint session in the House Chambers in front a large gathering of lawmakers, elected officials and guests.
“However, given the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, these are extraordinary times that require innovative ways of doing things to ensure safety. A large gathering would pose an unnecessary risk to the health of legislators, justices, staff, and guests,” a state press release read.
The Address will begin at 7 p.m. Further details will be released as it draws closer. We will have full coverage on WWJ Newsradio 950 on air, online, and on the Radio.com app.
