House Democrats boosted workers by:
✅ Expanding the EITC
✅ Repealing the retirement tax
✅ Restoring union rights
Republicans want to roll back this progress. We won’t let them. Michigan workers deserve better. #LaborDay

🚨 House Budget Cuts to Agriculture 🚨
The House budget makes deep cuts to agriculture programs that protect our food and farms:
❌ $1.9 million cut to Food Safety and Quality Assurance, eliminating 3 staff positions.
❌ $3.8 million cut to Animal Disease Prevention and Response, eliminating 11 staff positions.
❌ Removes $250,000 for monitoring tariff impacts on Michigan farmers.
These cuts weaken protections for our food supply, animal health, and farmers’ ability to respond to crises.

Michigan Republicans’ budget deletes funding for autism, cuts funding and jobs for state police, gets rid of funding water infrastructure and lead lines, and “earmarks” $50 million dollars for a township in the U.P. with a population of less than 500 with the hope of re-establishing a copper mine. #RepublicanPriorities #BigBadBudget #DefundRepublicans www.uppermichiganssource.com/2025/08/29/michigan-house-budget-includes-50m-requested-by-wakefield...

The township hopes an investment in its infrastructure will allow projects like the Copperwood Mine to move forward, boosting its population and its economy.0 CommentsComment on Facebook
🚨 House Budget Cuts to Health & Human Services 🚨
The House budget strips away key supports for children, families, and healthcare access:
❌ Refuses to fund $24.7M to coordinate children’s healthcare, including early childhood mental health, youth smoking prevention, and MiKidsNow.
❌ Cuts $18.6M and 54 staff, including eliminating the Office of Race, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion and positions tied to Flint Water crisis response.
❌ Blocks $9M in funding for rising IT system costs that support health services.
❌ Slashes $133.2M from DHHS IT systems, cutting staff and reducing the state’s ability to deliver integrated health services.
These cuts threaten children’s healthcare, public health equity, and Michigan’s ability to provide essential services.

If this House Republicans budget proposal is any sign of things to come, then it’s obvious to me they are actually looking for a fight and hoping for a statewide government shutdown. Any budget that proposes to slash funding to keep our drinking water safe is seriously unserious and another in a series of their appalling bargaining chips as final budget negotiations continue. I’ll keep you updated, and will get back to you later today with more information from their 800-page threat to endanger the health of House District 10.Unbelievable! #MatHallGovernmentShutown #HallOfShame #michiganbudget #CleanWaterForAll #drinkcleanwater

💧 House Budget & Clean Water Cuts 💧
The House budget makes alarming cuts to Michigan’s clean water and environmental protections:
❌ No funding for water infrastructure projects or lead service line replacement.
❌ Cuts $17.4M from water quality programs 116 staff.
❌ Cuts $4.9M from drinking water & environmental health and 15 staff.
❌ Cuts $4.4M from air quality programs and 28 staff.
❌ No funding for flood mitigation in Jefferson-Chalmers.
These cuts put our clean drinking water, air quality, and community safety at risk.
