State lawmakers are back in Lansing with more budget talks at the top of the agenda.
There are negotiations on two fronts — school funding and a roads plan.
Republican state Representative Joseph Aragona from Macomb County is anxious to get back to work and get something to the governor.
“The House passed a $3.2 billion roads plan without raising any revenue,” Argona said. “I think the Senate’s probably going to go a little bit different direction and eventually come up with something where they probably raise revenues. I’d rather not do that. But eventually I’m really hoping we get a roads plan and we obviously we still got to pass a budget. So those are probably the biggest things that we got going on in Lansing.”
The House also has a different plan from the Democratic-controlled Senate when it comes to the education budget. For school districts across Michigan, it’s crucial to get something done because their new fiscal year started July 1.
