Michigan Democrats lead the way in LGBTQ protections and progressivism

TL;DR Summary
Michigan Democrats, with a slim majority in both chambers, have passed several key pieces of legislation in the first two months of the legislative session, including a tax plan, the repeal of the state's 1931 abortion ban, and civil rights protections for LGBTQ people. However, some Republicans warn that the Democrats may be moving too fast and overreaching, while Democrats argue that they are simply fulfilling the mandate given to them by voters. The legislature still has all year to meet, and Democrats are rushing to pass their remaining priorities before going on spring break.
