LANSING — State Sen. Winnie Brinks (D–Grand Rapids) today issued the following statement on Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s budget proposal:

“Our hardworking families have waited for a budget that will give us the opportunity to clean up our drinking water, make sure every child has access to a world-class education, and create good-paying jobs they can rely on now and in the future.

“Today’s proposal is a first step in the budget process. I look forward to taking a closer look at Gov. Whitmer’s proposal, hearing from the people of our district and working with my colleagues to finalize a budget that looks out for the best interests of all Michiganders.”
