MI House Speaker: road plan funding would be ongoing, “dedicated”

Office of Kevin Cotter

  
Road funding, education spending and other budget issues are among the focus of discussions at the state capitol.  
 
There were several developments yesterday in education spending.  A measure meant to bridge the funding gap between school districts emerged.  
 
Meanwhile, a focus in the road funding debate continues to be whether the money for a fix can be found among existing revenue or if new revenue is required.  
 
Current State's Mark Bashore and Michigan Public Radio Network’s Capitol Bureau Chief Rick Pluta talk to Michigan Republican House Speaker Kevin Cotter about what's ahead for the state budget.
