Michigan lawmakers pass temporary budget after missing deadline, work to finalize plan

Michigan lawmakers missed the Oct. 1 budget deadline but quickly passed a temporary budget to maintain state government operations until Oct. 8. The continuation of last year's budget gives more time to finalize the current fiscal year's budget, with a vote expected in both the House and Senate on Thursday. Key figures, including State Rep. Ann Bollin and House Democratic leader Ranjeev Puri, have expressed both challenges and hopes regarding the process. Meanwhile, constituents, like Seth Miller from the cannabis industry, are voicing concerns over potential tax implications.
