LANSING, MI – Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra issued the following statement in response to Governor Whitmer signing the 2024 murky and wasteful budget.
“There are a litany of reasons why it’s crucial Republicans take back the House this November, but you don’t have to look much further than Whitmer’s disastrous budget. It provides the perfect summary of what total, radical liberal governing looks like and fails to deliver for Michiganders,” said Michigan Republican Party Chairman Pete Hoekstra. “This budget uses taxpayer dollars to push the job-killing electric vehicle transition, forces green energy mandates, cuts funding for school safety, mental health, and puts money towards e-bike incentives instead of fixing our crumbling local infrastructure.
“Michigan needs a budget that supports our students, teachers, roads, and jobs. We need a budget that supports Michigan – not future talking points for a California presidential primary.”
