Right now the Republican-led Michigan House and Democratic-led Senate are blaming each other for slowing the process.
The House wants a roughly three-billion-dollar road funding plan passed alongside a budget for schools.
Republican Speaker Matt Hall says a Democratic proposal would break the impasse.
“Many of these Democrat elected officials in cities and counties are saying ‘We’re supporting the Republican plan and there is no Democrat plan.’”
Democratic Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks says the roads plan risks taking money from schools and essential services.
“If we’re going to take tough votes, I want it to do the job, and I want it to do it well, and I want to do it in a fair way.”
Democrats say the House needs to show its math on funding roads by unveiling its budget proposals for the rest of state government.
