Senate passes State Park funding bills!
The Michigan Senate passed the State Park funding bills today and sent them on their way to their final stop — the governor’s desk.
This morning Detroit News published an article on these bills prior to their passage:
“We have not had any general fund support for our parks for almost six years now, and in the meantime the infrastructure continues to deteriorate,” [Senator Patty] Birkholz said. “We’ve barely been able to keep up (with basic maintenance).
“This gives us a way to streamline how we operate our state parks, so that now we can have parks people that were in booths out working in the parks to improve them.”
The Governor is expected to sign the bill package.
