Michigan's Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Republican legislative leaders announced Monday, Sept. 9 that they will work to enact a state budget without including a long-term funding plan to fix Michigan’s deteriorating roads. “The people of Michigan deserve leadership in Lansing that will work to continue providing them with services they depend on every day,” said a joint statement issued by Shirkey, Whitmer and House Speaker Lee Chatfield. The agreement should forestall the possibility of an Oct. 1 partial government shutdown. (AP Photo/Al Goldis, File)
