Overview

• Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks and House Speaker Matt Hall said they have an agreement to pass both the School Aid and state budgets before the new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
• Long-term road funding is the centerpiece, with Whitmer’s office describing nearly $2 billion per year while other reporting cites about $1.5 billion, leaving the exact total to be finalized.
• Revenue mechanics under discussion include shifting existing gas-tax collections and some corporate income tax revenue to roads and adding a new wholesale marijuana tax projected to raise about $420 million annually, which the House advanced on Thursday.
• Leaders emphasized the announcement is a framework, with appropriations work continuing through the weekend and floor votes expected early next week to avert a shutdown.
• Republicans tout tax relief, cuts to waste and new earmark transparency, while Democrats highlight protecting education and health care priorities within the compromise.
