Whitmer: ‘All Eyes On The Senate’ For Road Funding (MIRS, 4/16/25)

With the Senate Appropriations Committee today taking up the House’s long-term road funding plan, the Governor said “all eyes are kind of on the Senate” to see if they can put together a plan to find common ground. The Governor also said she is grateful that the Michigan House “has shown some seriousness” when it comes to road funding, and she is going to continue to meet with legislators to work out a bipartisan plan for funding the roads. The House passed its long-term road funding plan before the spring recess (See “Road Funding On A Road Trip To The Senate,” 3/19/25).
