Michigan Budget

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signed a $4.7 billion bipartisan infrastructure spending bill into law Wednesday.

If funding is approved by state lawmakers, the project would include preserving records and interviewing survivors of residential schools for indigenous children.

Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s budget proposal is now on the table with a record-setting $74 billion dollars in revenue to work with. The governor’s calling for money for schools, for roads, even some tax cuts.

The Democratic governor praised the budget as a bipartisan agreement that will spend more on childcare, roads, dam safety and other infrastructure, and job training.

All Michigan State Police troopers will soon be wearing body cameras as part of funding in the state budget.

The agreement sets a few billion dollars aside for local and state infrastructure projects like bridge construction, lead service line replacement, and road repairs.

Both the $50.7 billion general government spending plan and the $2.2 billion in gross spending for higher learning institutions are expected to make it to the governor’s desk before the end of the week.
