Michigan lawmakers pass COVID-19 spending bills; state budget chief concerned

Michigan lawmakers pass COVID-19 spending bills; state budget chief concerned David Eggert Print LANSING Michigan legislators on Thursday approved mid-year spending bills, including billions of federal coronavirus relief to boost pay for front-line government workers, incentivize unemployed people to return to work and upgrade infrastructure. Under a $3.3 billion plan sent to the Senate by the Republican-led House on a 65-42 vote, some of the U.S. funding would go toward payroll costs and free up state dollars to pay the state s million Flint water crisis settlement instead of borrowing and partially replenish an unemployment benefits fund targeted by fraudsters. Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s administration questioned some elements, saying federal guidance clearly states that COVID-19 funds cannot be used to pay down debt, bolster reserves and finance legal settlements.

House budget leader: Pay Flint settlement now, not over 30 years
