(Community Matters 158) Budget Postgame: Democratic Sen. Sean McCann's View from the Senate
Description
Michigan lawmakers went down to the wire in approving a new budget. In the end, a middle-of-the-night, two-hour shutdown happened - but did not last.
Still, a stopgap spending extension kept the government running before the new, $81 billion plan was passed in the early hours on October 3, 2025.
Senator Sean McCann, a Democrat from Kalamazoo, joins Community Matters for a postgame discussion from his view on how the compromise played out - and what stands out.
