The Democratic governor signed the second of two budget bills at a Detroit firehouse to call attention to the millions of dollars directed toward a public safety trust fund, implementing the state’s new firearm safe storage law and money for local governments.
“We want to make sure that every Michigander, no matter where you live, is safe as you go to work, drop your kids off at school, run errands. This budget gets it done.”
The new budget also money for affordable housing, for business incentives and for restarting the Palisades nuclear power plant in southwest Michigan.
This completes work on a state budget totaling 82-point-five billion dollars in time for the new fiscal year that begins October First.
