LANSING, MI (WTVB) – After a two week break, state lawmakers have returned to Lansing with the budget for Fiscal 2025 among the items on the front-burner.
Branch County’s representative in the State Senate, Republican Jonathan Lindsey of Allen, feels that the educational spending plan put forward by the Whitmer Administration has some wrinkles that need to be ironed out.
Lindsey recently criticized policies pushed by the Democrat majority in Lansing.
He said in February, “The state’s K-12 education budget has grown and grown, yet the results have gotten worse and worse. It’s time we look at proven policies, strategically and responsibly invest in those areas, and explore other new ideas on how we can do better.”
While Democrats still hold sway in the state Senate, the House is evenly split at 54-54 pending special elections next Tuesday, April 16th, to fill vacancies created when Democratic lawmakers won elections for mayoral races in the Detroit suburbs of Livonia and Warren.
