Michigan Senate Democrats
With a #MajorityForThePeople, we are building a Michigan the next generation can be proud of.
Moments ago, the State Senate voted to restore funding to projects that House Republicans cut indiscriminately last week.
Here's the quick version: several community projects were approved in the 2024-2025 budget. Many of those projects were underway such as the renovations to a center that supports childhood victims of sexual assault or a new fire truck for Hamtramck. Despite the fact that they were debated and approved, House Republicans used an obscure budget provision to revoke these contracts if all of the money wasn't already spent. This is disruptive and wasteful; but, Republicans leaders said they wanted to use these groups and their projects as political leverage in other negotiations.
Now, the ball is in the Republicans' court. Do they want to restore funding to the projects that they recklessly cut midstream, like wigs for kids with cancer or shelter for homeless families, or do they want to continue using their own constituents as leverage for unrelated political fights?

Last night, we voted to restore critical funding that House Republicans ripped away from Michigan kids, families, and communities. Government should honor its commitments and we’re taking action to make the people who were counting on this funding whole.
@senatorcamilleri condemns House Republicans for slashing over half a billion dollars from Michigan communities, and for caving to Speaker Matt Hall instead of protecting their own districts. This isn’t leadership. It’s partisan games that hurt the people who matter most: Michigan families.
