LANSING, Mich. (Aug. 2, 2023) — Sen. Mary Cavanagh (D-Redford Township) released the following statement in celebration of Governor Whitmer signing the historic Fiscal Year 2024 budget into law this week:
“Historic leadership creates historic change, and I could not be more proud of the bold investments we’ve made in this budget,” said Sen. Cavanagh, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on LEO/MEDC. “This budget reinvests in communities that have been overlooked and underfunded for decades — providing new, transformational opportunities for every Michigander to make it in Michigan.”
“From our largest education investment in Michigan history, transformational infrastructure funding and public safety grants to workforce and talent development programs, public health supports, and investments in art, culture, and recreation, this budget is a testament to what diverse, equitable and impactful funding looks like and reflects the level of investment in our communities that Michigan residents deserve from their state government.”
