(LANSING) - The State of Michigan has a budget for Fiscal Year 2027.
Friday morning, Governor Gretchen Whitmer, Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, House Speaker Matt Hall, and other legislative leaders celebrated passage of a balanced and bipartisan budget for Fiscal Year 2027 that lowers costs, protects access to health care, and makes other key investments to help more families live, work, and play in Michigan.
Whitmer says the budget delivers for every Michigander. She says over her seven and a half years in office, they've been able to fix more roads, support more students, secure more investments, and expand more rights than any other administration in state history. Whitmer says this budget builds on that progress by strengthening student literacy, opening doors for more housing opportunities, protecting health care, fixing the roads, and lowering costs for all Michiganders.
Whitmer says thanks to Leader Brinks, Speaker Hall, and legislators on both sides of the aisle for coming together for Michiganders. She says she is proud of this budget.
The balanced, fiscally responsible budget totals $75.2 billion, including a general fund total of $14.1 billion and a school aid budget totaling $19.8 billion.
