Funding our police and our schools should not be a partisan debate. Michigan families are counting on us to deliver, and in the Senate, we’ve taken that duty seriously.
We’ve made sure OK2SAY — our state’s confidential student safety tipline — remains funded and operational. And with the Michigan State Police reporting a record number of tips last year, it’s clear how vital this program is to keeping students safe.
Back in May, my Senate colleagues and I passed a budget proposal that continues funding for OK2SAY and puts an additional $350 million behind other efforts to improve school safety and mental health. However, these dollars remain tied up as House Republicans have failed to put forward a complete budget of their own and refuse to negotiate one in good faith. It’s time we get this done — for Michigan students and their families.

Hundreds of thousands of people in our lakeshore communities rely on the lake for clean drinking water, outdoor recreation, and economic opportunity. That’s why in the Senate’s budget proposal — passed back in May — I fought to secure critical funding for Macomb County to tackle the muck that’s threatening the health of Lake St. Clair.
The House, however, has yet to pass a full budget, and they continue to drag their feet. It’s time to get this done. Our lake and our communities can't afford to wait any longer. ... See MoreSee Less
