Funding for State Police presented in budget

State Rep. Aaron Miller, chair of the House Appropriations State Police subcommittee, issued a statement after Gov. Rick Snyder last week presented his budget plan to the Legislature, which includes funding for the Michigan State Police.
Miller said public safety must continue to be a priority and he will work closely with the governor’s office to see that the Michigan State Police receives sufficient funding to keep families in Michigan safe.
Miller said crime statistics show violent and property crimes in Michigan have decreased over the past few years, and he will fight to ensure that trend continues.
Part of that involves making certain the state has enough state police resources available to keep residents safe, Miller said.
