Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer said her husband did ask for special treatment from a worker but claimed the request was a joke.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband made a failed attempt at humor last week when checking in with the small business that helps with our boat and dock up north. Knowing it wouldnt make a difference, he jokingly asked if being married to me might move him up in the queue,\u201d Whitmer told reporters Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously with the motorized boating prohibition in our early days of COVID-19, he thought it might get a laugh. It didnt. And to be honest, I wasnt laughing either when it was relayed to me because I knew how it would be perceived,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

NorthShore Dock LLC owner Tad Dowker said that Whitmers husband, Marc Mallory, asked that his boat be placed in the water before Memorial Day.<\/p>\n

Mallory and Whitmer own a house about 25 minutes from Traverse City, which is located in northern Michigan.<\/p>\n

Dowker wrote on Facebook that the harsh restrictions Whitmer imposed to try to curb the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus<\/a> cost his company three weeks. When a man called wanting his boat in the water, Dowker said it was impossible.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell our office personnel had explained this to the man and he replied, I am the husband to the governor, will this make a difference?\u201d Dowker recounted<\/a>.<\/p>\n
