Michigan passes long-awaited budget with cuts and 24% marijuana tax

Michigan lawmakers on Friday broke a monthslong stalemate to pass a sweeping state budget.

“Senate Democrats worked across the aisle to get the job done and deliver another responsible budget that boosts public education, invests in our aging roads, and protects access to healthcare, all while mitigating the worst effects of the devastating federal cuts,” Democratic Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks said.
