Comment As Gov. Gretchen Whitmer waited to speak at a campaign event Saturday night in Detroit, the 51-year-old mother of two joined her junior staffers for a spin behind the scenes. “Like physically doing cartwheels,” said Sen. Debbie Stabenow, a fellow Michigan Democrat who also spoke at the event. “They were good!

Le prix du gazole vendu dans les stations-service françaises a continué d’augmenter la semaine dernière, tandis que l’essence a légèrement baissé mais à des niveaux très élevés, selon les dernières données officielles publiées lundi.

Er kritisierte, dass Mikl-Leitners Aufruf genau an dem Tag veröffentlicht wurde, an dem die Landesregierung offiziell den Termin der Landtagswahl festgelegt hatte. „Das ist ein transparentes Spiel der SPÖ“, sagte Ebner.

Krainer: „Keine Schätzung für Landtagswahlen“ „Kreiswahlen waren für uns im Ausschuss nie von Interesse, wir ziehen das nicht in Betracht“, entgegnete Krainer....
