State Rep. Phil Green voted with the Michigan House to reverse Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s cuts to health care, public safety and other essential services important to residents of the Thumb. Green (R-Millington), who represents the 84th District, comprised of Tuscola and Huron counties, joined with others fighting to restore the more than $16 million the governor vetoed supporting rural hospitals, which have relatively higher rates of Medicaid and low-income patients. “Hospitals help form the foundation of our rural communities, and that foundation must be strong,” said Green, who has been married to a nurse for two decades. “These vetoes shouldn’t have happened,” he added. “But I am going to do all I can to restore this funding – for health care, public safety and STATE SENATOR Kevin Daley (R-Lum), far right, was joined by Staff Sgt. many other services I know are absolutely critical to Michigan fami - Eugene Alex’s wife, Melissa, and son, Zack, at a hearing of the Senate Com - lies.” The first-term Democratic governor signed the 2020 budget to avert a mittee on Transportation and Infrastructure regarding legislation to name a government shutdown, but used line-item vetoes to trim it. portion of M-81 after her husband in honor of his heroic service.
