LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Michigan would spend $50 million on tax incentives to lure moviemakers and not bank on savings from making more poor people eligible for government-backed health insurance under a budget bill approved Tuesday by the state Senate.

Those were among some key moves made by the Republican-led chamber in approving several more spending measures, leaving just one to be passed by senators before negotiations pick up with House members and Gov. Rick Snyder. The pending bill is a big one, though — the budget that includes funding for Medicaid, a program the Republican governor wants to expand under the federal health care law.
