Michigan’s Republican-led House has passed a $3.14 billion road funding package aimed at addressing the state’s deteriorating infrastructure.
The plan, which received some bipartisan support, reallocates existing funds without raising taxes and increases funding for local municipalities. However, Senate Democrats remain opposed to the measure, raising concerns about its long-term impact on other state programs. The package consists of nine bills and represents a significant effort to improve Michigan’s roads and bridges.
The legislation now moves to the Senate for further debate.
