LANSING, Mich., June 28, 2024 — The Michigan Legislature passed the final state budget for the 2025 fiscal year ahead of the legally required July 1 deadline. Democratic leaders crafted a budget focused on strategic, targeted investments that improve the lives of people and hometowns across Michigan without raising taxes. After the vote, state Rep. Jason Morgan (D-Ann Arbor) issued the following statement:

 

“In this budget, we have given attention and care to making sure Michigan is not only a place people want to stay, but also a place people will relocate to — simply put, Michigan is the place to be, to grow and to thrive. There is a focus on supporting the wellbeing of veterans, mentally and physically. I am proud of what we have accomplished for the people of Michigan. Funding will be going toward jobs, housing, health and transportation — all things that are important for people living in Michigan. This budget has a clear emphasis on building a strong foundation for our hometowns.”
