(May 15, 2026) \u2014 Senate Appropriations Chair<span>\u00a0<\/span><b>Sarah Anthony<\/b> (D-Lansing) has issued the following statement regarding the Consensus Revenue Estimating Conference (CREC) that took place today:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe numbers presented today reflect what\u00a0we\u2019ve\u00a0long been\u00a0feeling and seeing\u00a0across our state:\u00a0Trump\u2019s economy is\u00a0stunting the growth of<span>\u00a0<\/span><i>our<span>\u00a0<\/span><\/i>economy and cutting off opportunities for too many Michiganders. Consumer spending is down, and job growth has slowed. While we can\u2019t reverse the reckless decisions coming at the federal level, we do have the power and tools here in Michigan to offer people and communities across our state the stability and certainty they deserve. That means coming together across party lines to quickly pass a state budget that protects the social services Michiganders deserve, provides people with some much-needed financial relief, and ensures a sustainable and healthy financial outlook for our state down the road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CREC is typically held twice a year, in January and May, with the January CREC starting the annual budget process for the state of Michigan. The revenue forecast adopted in the January conference is the starting point for the Governor\u2019s executive budget, while the May conference provides an update to the forecast prior to the final budget enactment. CREC is led by the Director of the House Fiscal Agency, the Director of the Senate Fiscal Agency, and either the State Treasurer or the State Budget Director.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Senate\u2019s 2027 state budget proposal passed last month, click<span>\u00a0<\/span><span><a href=\"https:\/\/nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fsenatedems.com%2Fbudget%2F&amp;data=05%7C02%7CMVatter%40senate.michigan.gov%7C2c177d77f6cb4190c48c08deb29412a4%7C78e3c702d3a14260a3a77ffc88b9b8f7%7C0%7C0%7C639144546231051399%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=jU4f7tTAvsLR6UsnkYWsFobZycUs3VDZ%2FaiyYBZ4TcE%3D&amp;reserved=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" data-auth=\"NotApplicable\" originalsrc=\"https:\/\/senatedems.com\/budget\/\" id=\"OWAe15a2b9d-a06d-53d8-4391-ef796e811755\" class=\"x_Hyperlink x_SCXW219297644 x_BCX0 x_OWAAutoLink\" data-linkindex=\"1\" title=\"Original URL: https:\/\/senatedems.com\/budget\/.
