Budget season

In the Michigan Senate we are starting to report budget bills from the Appropriations subcommittees.

Today, I was pleased to preside over the recommendation of the subcommittee proposal for the Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.

The highlights:

We continue to invest in critical water and sewer funding including drinking water and removal of lead service lines.

A new $25M investment in removal of contaminated sediment In the Detroit River near the International Wildlife Refuge. This allocation leverages federal funding through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.

Major new investments in charging infrastructure and electrification of public fleets will support the rollout of money-saving electric vehicles for governments and individuals.

This is the first step of the state budget that leads up to a final vote on the budget, usually sometime in June.

Mrs. Mickel, if you want to see some funny things associated with State Senator Jeff Irloss, watch this video where the Board members use popcorn as a tool to ignore people speaking at the podium during Public Comments! Jeff Irloss has publicly said he does not believe the Democrat Majority would support the risk-free bill to repair the Open Meetings Act and make it so illegal things like this cannot occur without giving a plaintiff the ability to recover "Attorney Fees and Court Costs" when the rights of a person are violated and Declaratory Relief is obtained in court. Jeff actually claims that I - Michael Zoran - am the person who is accountable for this bill not being passable, because I worked so hard over the past NINE YEARS to make sure the bill was written by Attorney Philip Ellison - an Open Meetings Act specialist - and because I sent a copy of the bill to every member of the Democrat Party in the House and Senate in January of 2023 and then again at a later point in 2023. Watch how terrible this video is! There was even a man next to my 19-year-old cameraman shaking his bag of popcorn to try to drown out the voices of people speaking during Public Comments! ... Jeff Irloss, "Sloppy Joe" Tate, Winnie "The Loser" Brinks, Stephanie "No Change" Chang, and Graham "Full of It" Filler are all controlled by the exact same "Lobbyists" and "Consultants" from the Michigan Townships Association and Michigan Municipal League. The MML Lobbyists even told Winnie she "won" an Award, and Winnie took the time to accept that Award, even though Winnie never responds to emails or calls about the bill to repair the Open Meetings Act in order to prevent situations like this popcorn video from happening! youtu.be/EdL-x1Vrii8?si=mhdDMQ_Jr8tyRJ_4

Mrs. Mickel, look at what the Democrat Majority says is okay. I was a Trustee on the Board. This the THIRD time while on the Board when my rights were illegally violated during the Agenda item called "Board Member Comments" when each Board member is allowed to speak for 3 Minutes. youtu.be/USNENPWNY_Q?si=08BG1Lg7fwOzmmhu

Mrs. Kelly Mickel, look how I speak during the Agenda item of Public Comments. I'm allowed to speak for "3 Minutes." But the Supervisor doesn't like what I have to say, "I'm told, "Your time is up" when only 1 Minute 51 Seconds has passed. State Senator Jeff Irloss, Senator Winnie "The Loser" Brinks, State Rep "Sloppy Joe" Tate, and State Rep Graham "Full of It" Filler all say this is okay! They refuse to hold elected officials accountable. They refuse to allow Plaintiffs to recover "Attorney Fees and Court Costs" when their rights are violated like what you see here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6edkeRqNCak&t=1s
