Legislative Round-up and State Budget Preview

Monday, April 2, 2012

Michigan State Capitol

State legislators begin a two-week Spring break today. It’s been a busy year already for lawmakers at the state Capitol. The state Legislature has approved insurance coverage for autism treatments, repealed a long-standing motorcycle helmet law, and begun kicking around proposals for the upcoming state budget. But 20-12 has not been easy on the state Legislature -- House Democrats even sued their Republican counterparts over procedural issues.

WDET’s Laura Weber spoke with Michigan House Republican Press Secretary Ari Adler about the year so far, and what lawmakers can expect when they return from their Spring break. Craig Fahle talks to Gongwer News Service Editor Zach Gorchow about how this year's budget negotiations are shaping up.
