Michigan ‘welcome’ signs are anything but amid coronavirus

Welcome to Michigan — not.

Two electronic billboards at the Indiana border are urging travelers to think again before driving into the Wolverine State so long as coronavirus lockdowns are in place.

“NOW ENTERING MICHIGAN,” they read. “REALLY? YOU’RE SURE ABOUT THIS?”

Drivers leaving Michigan are treated to an equally snarky message.

“The Great State of Indiana Welcomes Michiganders To A Free-To-Roam State. We Thank You for the Revenue!”

The billboards were put up by businessman Steve Swick, who insisted to CNN that despite the sour-on-Michigan messages, “It’s not politically motivated at all.”

“I did it just to do it,” said Swick, who is president of the Swick Broadcasting Company.

“We hear and see all the frustrations of Michiganders that are going through,” he said. “There was nothing political about it.”

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer — whose husband recently dropped her name to get favorable treatment at a marina — has extended the state’s stay-at-home order until at least June 12; the mandate has inspired personal threats, rowdy rallies and individual acts of defiance.
