  • Microsoft Outlook
    Updates from the Capitol November 30 - December 11 State Leaders Ready a COVID Relief Package As we move closer to adjournment of the 100th Legislature, Governor Gretchen Whitmer and State Budget Office Director Chris Kolb have issued a supplemental request to both the Michigan Senate and House of Representatives Appropriations Committees primarily to support the state’s 1 ongoing pandemic response efforts. Supplemental Request 2021-2 recommends additional funding for the current fiscal year to the departments of Agriculture and Rural Development; Corrections; Education; Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy; Health and Human Services; Military and Veterans Affairs; and Technology, Management, and Budget. These adjustments are to be used to provide for coronavirus response activities that will no longer be funded with federal Coronavirus Relief Funds after December 30 due to federal law. The request included an approximately $617.3 million appropriation ($192.4 million General Fund) for Health and Human Services. This funding would go to support the following: • $419 million for pandemic food assistance benefits, specifically for children who, instead of receiving free or reduced-price meals at school, will be provided these meals throughout the pandemic • Approximately $5.9 million for immunization programs through local public health departments • Approximately $192 million for DHHS to continue its coronavirus response efforts, including testing and contact tracing of vulnerable populations, purchasing of supplies and equipment, supporting the expansion of health system capacity for distribution of COVID-19 vaccines, as well as wage and other supports for health care providers, among other things. To offset the spending request, the Director discussed this week the use of lapsed funding, savings from a lower-than-projected Medicaid caseload and higher-than-anticipated revenues, as well as future federal stimulus.

  • Analysis of 2016 General Election
    Analysis of 2016 General Election On Tuesday, November 8, voters cast their ballot to decide a number of national, state, and local races and issues. While the results are in, the work needed to create a better society is not finished. It is important that we each seek to heal divisions, pray for elected officials, and engage with them about issues facing our nation, state, and local communities. Archbishop Joseph Kurtz of Louisville, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), congratulated President-Elect Donald Trump and others who were chosen by the American people on November 8th. He also issued a statement calling for all to work for the common good. The following analysis provides an overview of the results in the race for President, the U.S. House of Representatives, the State House of Representatives, the Michigan Supreme Court, and the State Board of Education. The Michigan State University Board of Trustees, University of Michigan Regents, and the Wayne State University Governors are also included as they are decided by voters at the statewide ballot. This piece will also take a look at the political landscape in Michigan going forward. Trump/Pence Win 75 of Michigan’s 83 Counties At the end of the night and early into the hours of Wednesday, November 9, Michigan proved to be a battleground state in the presidential election, defying polls that suggested Hillary Clinton had a significant lead. In fact, the Detroit Free Press mistakenly called Michigan for Secretary Clinton as early as 9 pm. Unofficial results from the Michigan Secretary of State show that Donald Trump narrowly won Michigan with a total of 2,277,914 votes out of 4,785,223 (47.60%) compared to Clinton’s 2,264,807 (47.33%).

  • January 23, 2019 FIX the ROADS PLAN on the WAY
    January 23, 2019 FIX THE ROADS PLAN ON THE WAY Governor Gretchen Whitmer said last week that she will put forth “a real plan” to fix Michigan’s roads and other infrastructure in her March budget presentation, but under questioning by reporters gave no indication of how she would propose paying for the plan. Will she propose higher taxes? Will she go the bonding route? The Governor was noncommittal. During her campaign she cited increased user fees or a bond issue as possibilities but again offered no specifics. THE WORK BEGINS The Republican-controlled 100th Legislature has convened, House and Senate Committees have been announced, members have received their committee assignments, the Whitmer administration is preparing its first budget, and Governor Gretchen Whitmer has announced she will deliver her first State of the State address on February 5. SENATE: NO-FAULT INSURANCE REPORT PRIORITY #1, ALSO BILL #1 The Senate’s first bill of the 100th Legislature is Senate Bill 1 to address the state’s nation-leading auto insurance rates. The measure at this point has no specifics but rather is a statement of intent: Seniors 62 and over shouldn’t need to buy lifetime health care benefits if they have Medicare. Drivers should have choice in their personal injury protection benefits. Cost controls need to be attached to the cost of providing healthcare to those injured in car accidents. More needs to be done to track down fraud. Senator Aric Nesbitt’s (R-Lawton) bill is similar to that of Representative Jason Wentworth’s (R- Clare) who is the point person on the subject in the House.

  • Michigan Supreme Court May Settle Issue of Public Aid for Private Schools
    Michigan Supreme Court may settle issue of public aid for private schools Jonathan Oosting, The Detroit News Published 9:12 a.m. ET June 25, 2019 | Updated 7:21 p.m. ET June 25, 2019 Michigan’s Supreme Court on Jan. 1, 2019: L-R by row from top, justices Brian Zahra, Richard Bernstein, Megan Cavanagh, Elizabeth Clement, David Viviano, Bridget Mary McCormack and chief justice Stephen Markman. (Photo: Rod Sanford, Special to The Detroit News) Lansing — The Michigan Supreme Court has agreed to reconsider a high-stakes case that tests the limits of the state’s constitutional ban on using public taxpayer money to support private school education. At issue is $5 million in funding approved by Michigan’s Republican-led Legislature to reimburse religious and other non-public schools for state mandates that do not directly support student education. Public school advocates argue the spending is a “slippery slope” and sued the state in 2017 over an initial $2.5 million appropriation to reimburse private schools for fire drills, inspections and other state requirements. Lawmakers later approved another $2.5 million for fiscal year 2018. A divided state Court of Appeals panel upheld the spending in October 2018, ruling the state can reimburse private schools for “incidental” costs that do not support a “primary” function critical to the school's existence or result in “excessive religious entanglement.” Plaintiffs challenged the ruling, and the state Supreme Court on Tuesday granted their application for leave to appeal. In doing so, Justice Stephen Markman said allowing the state funding plan to proceed “would perhaps be in tension with the Establishment Clause” of the U.S.

  • WHITMER to DETROIT Republican Gubernatorial Nominee Bill Schuette and Democratic Gubernatorial Nominee Gretchen Whitmer Have Their Lieutenant Governor Running Mates
    August 2018 SCHUETTE GOES WEST FOR LG PICK; WHITMER TO DETROIT Republican gubernatorial nominee Bill Schuette and Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gretchen Whitmer have their lieutenant governor running mates. Mr. Schuette tapped former state representative and Kent County Clerk Lisa Posthumus Lyons who was below the radar of those being mentioned as possible running mates for Schuette – Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller, Representative Laura Cox (R- Livonia) and Senator Tonya Schuitmaker (R-Lawton). Mr. Schuette noted Ms. Lyons’ legislative experience (three terms in the House), her experience as Kent County Clerk and having been friends for a long time. She is the daughter of former Lt. Governor Dick Posthumus. It has been reported that Ms. Lyons withdrew her support of presidential candidate Donald Trump in 2016 over his comments about celebrity and his conduct with women as did Lt. Governor Brian Calley for which the Schuette campaign regularly criticized him for during the primary race. Ms. Whitmer named Garlin Gilchrist II of Detroit as her running mate. 35-year old Gilchrist is the former director of Innovation and Emerging Technology for the City of Detroit and serves as Executive Director for the Center for Social Media Responsibility at the University of Michigan. He has never held elective office and narrowly lost a bid to unseat Detroit City Clerk Janice Winfrey in 2017. His name emerged recently as a leading candidate in recent among the other mentionables – Wayne County Sheriff Benny Napoleon and State Representative Sheldon Neeley (D-Flint). Both Democrats and Republicans are expected to formerly nominate candidates for statewide office at their party conventions next weekend.
