Statement of Senate Democratic Leader Mike Prusi on the Need for Action on Unemployment Assistance Legislation

“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 it’s 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.”
