"Whitmer's $80.7B Budget Proposal Prioritizes Education and Economic Relief for Michiganders"

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer presented an $80.7 billion budget proposal for the 2025 fiscal year, aiming to provide free preschool and community college, tax relief for family caregivers, and subsidies for job-creating companies. The budget, which does not raise taxes, also includes investments in early childhood education, K-12 schools, and higher education, as well as cost-saving measures for Michiganders' pocketbooks. Additionally, Whitmer proposed business subsidies to support Michigan's economy and addressed an ongoing legal battle related to the state's personal income tax rate.
