Central to Michigan’s Children work at the state Capitol is Budget Watch, one of our longest-running projects.  With funding from The Skillman Foundation, the project is aimed at increasing public awareness of the nature and scope of public investments in children and families in Michigan, and increasing civic involvement in budget decision-making by analyzing public spending and providing frequent written reports detailing the impact of state budget proposals and decisions on children and families through publications, electronic alerts and online.
