GET ME REWRITE: Michigan House GOP fight crime and inflation by hating on libraries

 
HeadlineMichigan Advance, 4/26/2023
House Resolution 81 recognizes libraries as “cultural institutions at the heart of every Michigan community and campus” and librarians as the “heartbeat of every library.” It passed 56-53 Tuesday along party lines. 
Every House Republican voted in opposition to it, and none gave an explanation for their no votes
Right-wing groups have been targeting public and school libraries over books on racial and LGBTQ+ issues. In the 2022 election, Republicans like failed GOP gubernatorial nominee Tudor Dixon made book bans one of their key campaign issues.
