R.W. LaPine’s expansion in St. Joseph is exactly the kind of investment that Michigan needs. When Michigan businesses expand, they increase their ability to compete for larger projects, building opportunity and resiliency for the company and the workers alike. Ultimately, the investment is a massive win here in Berrien County, providing dozens of new high-paying jobs with good benefits that will support working families across our community.

Amid national economic uncertainty, I’m proud that Michigan’s bipartisan budget lowers costs, protects access to health care, and makes key investments to help more families thrive in Michigan by:
✅Continuing the Working Families Tax Credit, sending an average of nearly $3,900 in tax relief to 665,000 families.
✅Continuing free school meals for all 1.4 million public school students, saving families around $1,000 per year, per child, and valuable time every morning.
✅Rolling back the retirement tax completely, saving 500,000 seniors an average of $1,000 a year.
✅Investing $780.4 million to stabilize Medicaid funding, protecting access to health care for 2.5 million Michiganders.

I’m proud to have voted for a budget that invests $1.5 million in a St. Joseph harbor dredging and deepening study. This investment will help assess the feasibility of deepening the harbor, potentially reducing future dredging needs and increasing its commercial utility.

Yesterday, I joined the Governor for the signing of legislation to create the Michigan Housing Opportunity Tax Credit, cut red tape to help build new homes, and prohibit institutional investors from owning more than 100 single family homes and pricing out working families.
Our bipartisan budget also includes $50 million for the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund to continue supporting the affordable housing needs of low-income households and revitalization of neighborhoods and downtowns.
These are important steps toward expanding housing opportunities and giving communities the tools they need to grow and thrive.

Our Data Center Guardrail Package, House Bills 6135-6142, would codify the Governor's Michigan Affordable and Responsible Growth Action Plan in statute alongside additional requirements on decommissioning, sound studies, and stringent reporting requirements.
The House Republicans refuse to give these bills a hearing or vote.
