Michigan Budget Talks Keep Rolling | Lansing News

Michigan’s budget deadline missed, but don’t panic—lawmakers are still in talks and staying optimistic. The House passed an education plan boosting K-12 funding by 2.5% but slashed higher ed budgets; the Senate nixed that to restart negotiations, seen as a strategic move to keep momentum. Both chambers say talks are alive and well, aiming for a deal within the week. With the legislature in better shape than last year’s October scramble, the goal is to have a budget ready for the governor by July 4. Behind the scenes, negotiators are focused on compromise, with everyone from students to teachers feeling the impact. The race is on—and progress is moving forward.
