💸PRIORITIZING PEOPLE'S POCKET BOOKS💸 Currently, the Michigan Public Services Commission (MPSC) is required to base rate decisions on things like "environmental justice," pushing solar and wind even when it doesn’t make sense. This has led to rate increase after rate increase as performance falls. The House Republican energy plan takes a common-sense approach, requiring AFFORDABILITY and RELIABILITY to be MPSC's primary concerns in considering rates, with families saving an average of $500 a year.

🛣️ON THE ROAD(S) AGAIN🚧 After forcing Lansing politicians to make good on their promises and finally FIX THE ROADS, we dedicated $2 billion to roads last year. This year, we're building on that and adding another $100 million to KEEP FIXING OUR ROADS, focusing on local roads, bridges, and long-term infrastructure needs.

We discovered that NEARLY HALF of all budget items are OVERFUNDED by a total of $2 BILLION — that's $700 per Michigan family. How? For years, departments have requested far more than they actually spend, reserving your tax dollars when they don't really need them. 👎Empty childcare centers 👎Empty cubicles in empty state buildings 👎Programs that get big announcements and never deliver services Our budget ENDS these gimmicks and only funds the real dollar amounts for the services people rely on. That means savings for you!

One of the best examples is the $500 million we save by eliminating another 3,300 GHOST EMPLOYEES — positions that get your tax dollars to hire people but are never filled👻👻👻 We got rid of thousands last year, and even Governor Whitmer and Michigan Democrats admitted it was a problem. But now we’ve found more. We're coming back for the rest.

It comes down to two possible conclusions: Jocelyn Benson either knowingly funded extremist groups, or it happened right under her nose. Speaker Pro Tem Rachelle Smit sounds off on Republicans DEMANDING Jocelyn Benson release information regarding her time at the Southern Poverty Law Center while they secretly sent money to hate groups in the U.S.

On Senate Democrats finally passing our funding for Selfridge today: "They laughed about the deadline I put out, they questioned whether we had to do it or not... and then at the end of the day, exactly what I said needed to happen happened, and they did it exactly like I said they would."

Dems obviously can’t count — or they’re hoping the public won’t. It takes 56 votes to pass a bill in the Michigan House. HB 5876 got 57. So no, one holdout Republican does not remotely equal a “fractured caucus.” It means the bill passed. Now let’s talk about what they really do not want to explain. They need to figure out how they are going to tell their own constituents that they voted NO on relief just to protect their position inside the Democratic Party. They voted NO on eliminating the real estate transfer tax. They voted NO on fixing the pop-up tax. They voted NO on eliminating the state property tax. They voted NO on eliminating remaining personal property taxes that punish businesses for investing, growing, and hiring. And they voted NO on rolling back utility pricing for Michigan families. Then they ran to social media yelling about police, fire, schools, and roads because fear is the only playbook they have left. That is the game. Use public safety as a scare tactic. Use children as a political shield. Use roads as a talking point. Then hope nobody notices that they are fighting to keep more money in government’s pocket and less money in yours. If you voted no, own it. Tell your constituents why your next move, your next title, and your standing in the party mattered more than lowering their cost of living. Tell them why party loyalty mattered more than property tax relief. Tell them why the party machine mattered more than utility relief. Tell them why protecting the system mattered more than helping homeowners, seniors, families, small businesses, and working people breathe. Because I know exactly why I voted YES. My vote belongs to my district. My vote belongs to the people who sent me here. My vote does not belong to a party, a caucus, a title, or anybody’s political ladder. I will not vote to get along and go along. I will not be pressured into voting against my district. And I will never allow anyone to take my vote for granted. Last night, my district was in that room. Michigan families were on that board. And my YES vote mattered. 57 yes votes. Bill passed. People over party.

🚫ENDING FUNDING FOR POLITICAL ACTIVITY🚫 But why have rates skyrocketed in recent years? We'll tell you: The MPSC puts money from utility bills toward left-wing groups and lobbyists that organize protests and chase environmental hoaxes, with no concern for the costs passed on to hardworking Michiganders. While families and small businesses have had to tighten their belts, these political activities have seen a 300% spending increase. Our plan puts an end to that and enables government officials to fight for ratepayers, not special interests.
