State Rep. Doug Wozniak (R-Shelby Township) has supported a House budget plan that aims to limit government spending while maintaining funding for key services in Michigan.

The House approved an omnibus budget of $56.6 billion, which covers most state departments except education. This follows the earlier passage of a $21.9 billion School Aid Fund budget that increases investments in Michigan classrooms. The combined total for the House budget proposal is $78.5 billion, representing a 3.7% decrease from the current year’s budget.

“This budget is a step in the right direction,” said Wozniak. “It is focused, efficient, and responsible. We’ve trimmed the excess waste, prioritized programs that matter most, and built a plan that puts taxpayers first.”

The overall House budget is 6% smaller than the governor’s proposed spending plan and 7.2% less than the Senate’s version.

“Families across Michigan are doing more with less, and it’s time their government did the same,” said Wozniak. “This budget reflects our commitment to responsible leadership and ensures that state resources are used wisely and transparently.”
