Lori compliments the governor

State Rep. Matt Lori has offered his compliments to Rick Snyder for the governor’s budget proposal to invest more money in the state’s mental-health programs.

In a statement Wednesday after the release of the governor’s proposed fiscal year 2015 budget, Lori said Michigan continues its comeback by investing in priorities to boost education, expand job creation, build stronger communities, improve mental and community health, and improve public safety.

Lori, who chairs the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Community Health, said the budget recommendation is a starting point to continue the work of the past three years to produce a responsible, balanced spending plan well ahead of the Oct. 1 deadline.
