Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) announced she will be taking a pay cut amid the CCP virus pandemic, which has left more than 1 million residents in the state filing for unemployment.
Speaking at a press conference on April 20, Whitmer told reporters she will take a 10 percent pay cut and has also asked senior executive members of her staff to take a 5 percent pay reduction. The governor did not say for how long the pay cuts will be in effect.
