Signed in early October 2025, the new $81 billion budget was a bipartisan compromise with several key features. Tax cuts: The budget eliminates state taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security income for three years, with the changes to take effect on January 1, 2026.Roads: The budget includes a long-term plan to invest nearly $2 billion annually for state and local road repairs, a key campaign promise from Whitmer. It redirects all gas tax revenue to roads and includes revenue from a new 24% wholesale tax on marijuana.Education: Record per-pupil funding was included, along with funding for school safety measures, special education, career and technical education, and universal free meals for all K-12 students.Medicaid: The budget secures federal funding for Medicaid by implementing a new insurer tax to replace a previous one that was being phased out. This is intended to protect healthcare access for millions of Michiganders. Protection for homeowners (HB 4524): This bipartisan bill, signed on September 30, 2025, protects property rights by clarifying rules regarding land and home ownership. It gives owners more time to claim property interests and protects them from surprise claims based on old documents.Rental protections (SB 205-207): These bills, signed on January 2, 2025, prohibit landlords with five or more rental units from discriminating against tenants based on their source of income, including housing assistance programs like Section 8. #trump #donaldtrump #maga #america #usa #government #politics #foxnews #republican #republicans #democrat #democratsView all 2,666 comments https://www.instagram.com/reel/DP1zH6bDlP2/?igsh=MWFkZ2J6aDJlZmY3aw==
