Dear Neighbor,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After months of fighting for a fiscally responsible state budget, I\u2019m excited to announce that we finally got the job done and successfully passed a budget that invests in our community and communities around Michigan! This agreement centers on <\/span>people-first investments<\/span><\/a> to lower costs, protect vital services, fix our roads, and expand opportunities for Michigan families. It also <\/span>delivers on major priorities like free school meals<\/span><\/a> and blunts harmful Medicaid cuts.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unfortunately, our counterparts in Washington have not passed a budget, leading to a shutdown of federal departments and agencies. While we continue to navigate this challenging political environment, please know that my office is here to help you. Whether that is keeping you informed of the latest developments, answering any questions you may have, or helping with challenges you may be facing with state departments, we\u2019re here for you!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You can reach me and my team by emailing <\/span>sensshink@senate.michigan.gov<\/span><\/a> or calling (517) 373-2426. <\/span>Also, please visit my official <\/span>Facebook page<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>website<\/span><\/a> for the latest updates.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
