State Budget Update PDF Print E-mail

Posted 10-14-09

In the early morning hours of October 1st - the first day of the new fiscal year - the Michigan Legislature approved a continuation budget for fiscal year 2010 after failing to come to an agreement on some of the major cuts proposed to balance a $2.8 billion budget deficit. 

Although a second continuation budget was voted on to continue payments for K-12 education, agreement was not reached and the K-12 School Aid budget was sent to a second conference committee. Early on the morning of October 9th, a compromise on the K-12 budget was approved by the Legislature.

Read the latest on negotiations over the K-12 School Aid, DCH, and DHS budgets in our October 9 Budget Basics report.

Our Mission
Michigan's Children is a statewide, independent voice for children and their families. We work with lawmakers, business leaders, and communities to make Michigan a place where all children have the opportunity to thrive.
Our Priorities

Michigan's Children, through our Board of Directors, annually establishes priorities that guide our administrative and legislative advocacy.  We use those priorities in our work directly with policy makers and to assist community leaders, parents, youth and others to advocate on their own behalf.  View or download the Michigan's Children's 2010 Policy Agenda
