Whitmer rolls out $3B road funding plan, eyeing more cash from marijuana, companies
'We need to make decisions about the state budget just like everybody has to do in their family budget, right? This is no different. And I think, yes, this is unconventional, our approach. It may be with our earmark requirement now that you have to have a legislative, directed projects have to have a sponsor on it and be more transparent and accountable. I think this will go a long way. I have received resoundingly positive remarks about our approach to the budget and the earmarks. This is what the people want. They want us to be responsive, absolutely, but they want us to be responsible,' state Rep. Ann Bollin, R-Brighton Township, said.
All that and more on this 'To The Point' episode for the weekend of March 29.
