Fears of Republican Power Grab in Michigan Fade as Governor Vetoes Bill - The New York Times

'The results gave Michigan Democrats some measure of relief, though they were not at all thrilled with what had happened in recent weeks. '

'Other legislation that would have stripped power from incoming officials never made it to a floor vote. '

'Just a few weeks ago, protesters marched through the Michigan Capitol claiming that Republicans were trying to subvert the will of voters and seize power from the Democrats who had just been elected governor, attorney general and secretary of state. '

'The protesters’ worst fears did not come to fruition. '

'Rick Snyder, a Republican whose eight-year tenure ends next week, vetoed a bill that would have allowed lawmakers to intervene in court cases, a measure seen as an effort to dilute the authority of the new Democrats. '
