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

As summer comes to a close, I have continued working around the clock to not only connect with our constituents in the district and hear their valuable insight \u2014 but to also attempt negotiating a responsible state budget that supports our schools, first responders, local governments, and everything in between.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Back in May, well before the July 1 statutory deadline, my Senate Democratic colleagues and I passed a comprehensive budget that lowers costs for working families, provides stable funding for schools and students, improves government efficiency, and ensures access to the vital services and programs that Michiganders rely on. In contrast, the budget plan the House GOP finally released months later does the exact opposite \u2014 proposing dangerous, irresponsible cuts to critical services our residents need and deserve.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our residents \u2014 <\/span>you <\/span><\/i>\u2014 deserve a budget that reflects our values, not betrays them. Senate Democrats continue to remain at the table ready to negotiate a deal that doesn\u2019t shortchange our students, workers, and families, and instead delivers on the priorities that matter most to our communities.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As always, please feel free to reach out to share your thoughts or seek assistance with any challenges you may be facing with state departments. You can email me at <\/span>SenSSingh@senate.michigan.gov<\/span><\/a> or call (517) 373-3447.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
