..."Republicans also cried foul because the bills include appropriations, which would inoculate a new law against a referendum. Whitmer criticized that tactic after a Republican-led Legislature did the same thing to shield the 2012 from a ballot challenge.
The Michigan Constitution shields budget bills from referendums to protect the state’s credit rating and capacity to pay its debts.
But right-to-work supporters say the fight may not be over as they ponder launching a ballot drive to supersede the repeal by amending the Michigan Constitution."
