  • CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE February 7, 2020
    MCALVEY MERCHANT & ASSOCIATES CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE February 7, 2020 CAPITOL NEWS UPDATE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 3, 2020 Integrity, Individual Attention. Precision Strategy. Proven Results WHITMER PROPOSES 2020-21 BUDGET No new taxes, Increased School Funding Governor Gretchen Whitmer proposed a $61.9 billion 2020-21 fiscal year budget on Thursday that requires no new taxes, and includes increases for education, universities and colleges, environmental cleanup and families. It also proposes keeping a portion of the Pure Michigan Campaign. The proposal, her second since she has been in office, is 3.9 percent more than the current year’s budget, and was lauded for its simpler recommendations. This was a switch from last year when she proposed a jarring 45-cents per gallon fuel tax increase to fix the state’s roads and took major issue with Republican spending priorities. In addition, this year’s proposal only requires eight non-budget bills to be enacted, compared to 24 last year. "Ultimately I do need a Legislature that is going to work with me on these things," Whitmer said. "I remain hopeful that maybe this is the year that we find some common ground, and if that's the case we can always do supplementals to make adjustments to a budget, but I don't tilt at windmills. I am realistic. I put a solution on the table last year. I'm moving forward, and I'm delivering on a lot of these fundamentals that I think are important for Michigan that I ran on and I know the people of Michigan care about." Education Whitmer proposed a 2.8%, or $290 million increase to per pupil foundation allowance for school districts, bringing the minimum per-pupil funding to $8,336, with lowest-funded districts seeing an increase of $225 per pupil, and highest-funded districts an increase of $150 per pupil.

The senate consists of 38 members who are elected by the qualified electors of districts that range in size from approximately 248,600 to 274,600 residents (under a redistricting plan enacted in 2001). Senators are elected at the same time as the governor and serve 4-year terms concurrent with the governor’s term of office. The house of representatives consists of 110 members who are elected by the qualified electors of districts that range in size from approximately 77,000 to 91,000 residents (under a redistricting plan enacted in 2011). Representatives are elected in even-numbered years to 2-year terms. Legislative districts are drawn on the basis of popu lation figures obtained through the federal decennial census. Terms for senators and representatives begin on January 1, following the November general election. Effective with terms of office beginning on or after January 1, 1993, state legislators (as well as the governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general) are subject to term limitations. State senators may not be elected more than 2 times and state representatives may not be elected more than 3 times. (Partial terms that are less than half of a full term are not counted as one of these terms.) The state legislature enacts the laws of Michigan; levies taxes and appropriates funds from money collected for the support of public institutions and the administration of the affairs of state government; proposes amendments to the state constitution, which must be approved by a majority vote of the electors; and considers legislation proposed by initiatory petitions.

  • Citizen' S Guide
    CITIZEN’S GUIDE TO STATE GOVERNMENT 98TH LEGISLATURE 2015 2016 Dear Citizen: It is of primary importance that the general public increase its par ticipation in the decision- making process. In order to actuate this input, the citizen must acquire an understanding of the legislative structure and process and then organize concerted efforts to effectively demand representation. Individuals can have an impact on specific legislative proposals, provided it is made at the appropriate time. Organized community and citizens’ groups can multiply the impact of that individual effort. Organizing citizens’ groups to deal with specific community prob lems is extremely important. Such groups provide a focal point from which citizens can participate in the decision-making process and influence legislation. The intent of this CITIZEN’S GUIDE is to provide some of the specific information needed to get in touch with the RIGHT PEOPLE AT THE RIGHT TIME to make your concerns heard. It is hoped that it will be a reference tool that will assist you in your efforts to be heard by public officials.
