In an unexpected defeat for Governor Whitmer, the House Democrats betrayed her on one of her top priorities this week, stunningly voting down a bill in the State House that would require limits on cell phones in schools. 

Whitmer highlighted the issue as a top priority in her State Of The State address earlier this year, yet nearly every House Dem voted against it---even despite strong bipartisan support among parents, educators, and voters for this type of legislation. 

The State Senate has already passed a similar bill.

Speaker Matt Hall says he doesn't understand why House Dems stabbed Whitmer in the back.

"If Democrats were smart, they'd follow her---she is a lot more popular than legislative Democrats are," Hall said in a press conference earlier this week. "They won their majorities because of her and now they're abandoning her, I don't understand why."

One might think after the horrendous impact the C-19 school lockdowns had on our kids, that Dems would understand it's important to limit distractions in the classroom?

 Apparently not. Dems would rather play partisan games than do what's best for kids!

The vote is also highlighting some of the issues internally with House Democrats. 

"Chaotic," and "contentious" are some of the words Lansing insiders are using to describe how things are looking within the House Democrat caucus, which is a nice way of saying it's a shit show most days.
