There is no excuse for the Senate Majority to leave thousands of Michigan families without a lifeline as unemployment resources are exhausted. The House did their part months ago to secure nearly $140 million to help workers who are trying to be retrained or were laid off from part-time positions, now its time for us to act. Hiding behind the budget negotiations or partisan misinformation is a short-sighted, reckless approach that Senate Republicans need to abandon so we can get help to struggling families right away. # # # |
