Governor Gretchen Whitmer was in Benton Harbor Monday.
State Representative Joey Andrews met up with her as she stopped at Forté Coffee. He says the two “had a great discussion on roads, the needs of local businesses, and the risks of rising costs from tariffs.”
This is seemingly part of a pattern for Whitmer, who has made several unannounced-to-the-public stops in St. Joseph and Benton Harbor over the years. On social media, Whitmer said she was also paying a visit to Head Start Monday.
On the agenda for Whitmer Monday was the announcement of $3 million being awarded around the state to help adults earn high school diplomas. However, none of that funding was awarded to any school districts in Southwest Michigan.
