4 Days to Budget Deadline: No Budget in Sight
Matt Hall and his band of extremists are preparing to blow past this budget deadline to make cuts following the lead of Federal Republicans.
MICHIGAN – On Friday, Progress Michigan released the following statement as frustrations rise because of the lack of budget coming from the Michigan House Republicans. The statement can be attributed to Sam Inglot, Progress Michigan executive director:
“Matt Hall and Michigan Republicans prove day after day that they are deeply unserious and would rather put our families in harm’s way than do their jobs and pass a budget. It’s bad enough that Matt Hall and the Michigan House Republican put forth an education budget that would literally snatch food out of the mouths of our kids. Now, it is clear they want to send us on a path toward defunding our government and a complete shutdown.
“Michiganders should be outraged that House Republicans led by Matt Hall are dragging their feet on passing a budget. Every day they delay will put deeper cuts into vital services, from healthcare to education and meals for children. If a budget isn’t passed by July 1st, families, communities and local school boards around the state will feel the impact through the cuts they will make to social services programs and to essential services we all rely on.
“This isn’t just dysfunction, it’s a failure of leadership. Michigan can’t afford political games when so much is on the line.”
