This week, Republican-led Michigan House of Representatives passed a state budget. Just ahead of that, Rep. Steve Frisbie, (R-Pennfield) joined Community Matters, expressing optimism that budget negotiations would begin in earnest soon.Frisbie called the law mandating a state budget by July 1 ineffective, since "there's no teeth to it, no consequences," allowing the deadline to come and go with no budget discussions underway.If Michigan lawmakers can't send a budget to the governor for approval by early October, they risk a government shutdown.Episode ResourcesRep.

No More Free Lunch for All: Lack of State Budget Already Impacting Some Schools – and Kids

#FactsMatter host Guy Gordon chats with Craig Thiel, Research Director for the Citizens Research Council, who first wrote about the impact of state budget uncertainty on Michigan's $200 million School Meals program back in June –before passage of the federal One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA). Michigan's two-year-old School Meals program guaranteed universal access to free school breakfast and lunch to all K-12 students across the state, regardless of their income status. The continued lack of certainty about Michigan's K-12 budget, due to its not being passed, has already prompted at least one notable district, Okemos, to discontinue its universal school meals program, effective the first day of school. Funding for the state School Meals program, established in response to student food insecurity concerns following the COVID-19 pandemic, has been in place for the last two years. Current funding will end on September 30. The budget passed by the Michigan House does not include dedicated funding for the universal school meals program. The Governor's proposed budget and the Senate budget do. The income-based federal free breakfast and lunch program will continue. However, with the federal government imposing major changes to SNAP and Medicaid through OBBBA, eligibility can change. Thiel explained: “Right now, no one knows the specific numbers of impact, either nationally or in Michigan, but we do know the general direction: people will be losing access to Medicaid and access to SNAP. And those programs are used in Michigan schools to help identify students for free meals.” The majority of the $200 million from Michigan's budget covered the difference between what the federal government covers and the cost of feeding all children. For students, it also removed any stigma associated with the federal income-based food breakfast and lunch program. Thiel stated that approximately 150,000 to 200,000 additional students participated in Michigan's School Meals program in 2024-25, compared to 2022-23, according to Department of Education data. “About 10 to 15 percent of K-12 students would lose access to these free meals.”

MAGA Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall is proudly joining his Dear Leader Donald Trump in punching the state's working class in the gut.  Hall hailed the MAGA Murder Budget is a "win" for Michigan, even though hundreds of thousands will lose their Medicaid and food assistance. Even more, thousands of jobs are getting slashed due to The Regime's war on clean energy.  Hall and his MAGA supporters in the Michigan House are willing to shutdown the state government unless Democrats agree to slash spending for schools, health care, and jobs so that the corporate donor base receives another tax cut.  Hall's been described as the "Trump before Trump." Judging how Trump's so-called economic policies are damaging Michigan to no end, it's imperative that Democrats re-take the state House to stop Hall.

Here are 3 big things you need to know—   One —   A U.S. Senate effort aimed at blocking President Trump's tariffs fell short on Wednesday, with Senate Republicans largely united in their opposition. In a 49 to 49 vote, all but three Republicans opposed the measure. Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse and Republican Mitch McConnel did not vote.   Two --- Stellantis is reporting a 14-percent drop in first quarter revenue.  The automaker is also suspending financial guidance for the rest of the year due to uncertainties surrounding tariffs.  The company's CFO says they are still absorbing tariff adjustments that were announced on Tuesday, which may provide some relief to the company.    And number three —  The Michigan House has passed a repeal of a 2023 law that removed local control over large-scale solar and wind farm permitting, giving the  authority to state utility regulators. The bill is likely to stall in the Senate. The Democratic-led Legislature passed legislation last year that shifting decision-making on projects to the state through the Michigan Public Service Commission.
