State Rep. Aaron Miller voted last week to support the Michigan Legislature’s state budget, investing more in roads and bridges, public health and safety, and community investment across the board – without raising taxes.
Miller’s votes came as the Legislature completed its work on the state budget for the fiscal year that started Tuesday. Miller and the Legislature last week approved his bill, which increased funding for every Michigan student as part of the same overall budget.
A total of $400 million is invested in road and bridge repairs, continuing the Legislature’s commitment to improving roads without tax increases or cuts to essential services. Michigan’s Department of Transportation budget will top $5 billion and provide more money for road repairs than ever before. That money goes to MDOT, county road commissions, and villages and cities as outlined in the formula within PA 51 of 1951.
