But months later, with the Oct. 1 funding cliff rapidly approaching, House Republicans have still not produced a complete budget plan, creating uncertainty and concern for school districts, families, and so many others across Michigan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou deserve to know the truth about what is happening \u2014 and not happening \u2014 in your state Capitol. While House Republicans obstruct the legislative process, refuse to take up bipartisan legislation we\u2019ve sent them, stall the passage of a state budget with only 42 days left, and push our state toward a point of irreparable harm, Senate Democrats are still getting things done for the hardworking Michiganders we represent. We\u2019re in your corner and we won\u2019t stop fighting until we have a budget that delivers on the priorities that matter most,\u201d said Senate Majority Leader <b>Winnie Brinks <\/b>(D-Grand Rapids).<\/p>\n<p>Due to a lack of leadership and the bad-faith negotiation tactics of the House GOP this budget cycle, schools have struggled to plan for the upcoming school year, families have grown uncertain about the stability of programs they rely on every day, and soon, local governments could face a shortfall in funding for essential services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLegislative leadership is about putting politics aside to put the people you serve first,\u201d said Sen. <b>Kevin Hertel<\/b> (D-St. Clair Shores). \u201cIf we want to pass a budget and tackle the challenges facing Michigan families, compromise isn\u2019t optional \u2014 it\u2019s essential. The Senate is ready to do the work and find common ground, but we can\u2019t do it alone. The question that remains is whether Speaker Hall is willing to put partisanship aside and meet us halfway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The House Republicans\u2019 inaction goes beyond just the budget. In addition to their failure to pass a full budget proposal, House Republicans are also stalling progress on 49 bills that the Senate unanimously passed.
