  • Michigan 2018 Lame Duck Legislative Session Scorecard -- Dec 21 2018.Pdf
    2018 Michigan Legislative Lame DuckSCORECARD 1 2018 Michigan Legislative Overview ......................................2 Vote Descriptions .........................3 Lame Scorecard: Senate ........................4 DuckSCORECARD Scorecard: House .........................5 The 2018 lame duck legislative session has moved at a record pace. More than 300 bills were introduced since the midterm elections on November 6th. Lame duck sessions are often used by corporate lobbyists and lame duck lawmakers, no longer accountable to their constituents, to push through wildly unpopular legislation in the final days of the year. During the 2012 lame duck session, the Emergency Manager law was reinstated, just weeks after having been struck down by voters at the ballot box. This year’s lame duck legislative session has been the most anti-environment and anti-democracy in Michigan’s history. Clean Water Action has been organizing voters, leading lobby day activities, testifying at committee hearings, hosting rallies and keeping our members up-to-date on the blatant and daily attacks on our water and democracy. The following scorecard tracks some of the worst legislative assaults on our water and democracy. On all bills tracked in this scorecard, the pro-environment and pro-democracy position was to oppose (a No vote) the legislation in question. There have been many bad bills introduced this session, but the following six are the worst of the worst. Brief descriptions of the legislation are below. Each bill has been weighted equally. If a Senator or Representative was absent (A) from the vote in question, that vote does not affect their overall score. In 2019, we will have a new legislature and new state leadership, but some of the elected officials scored below will be returning to Lansing.

  • 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.
