Governor Jennifer M. Granholm late today issued the following statement after the Michigan House of Representatives voted on bills to fund the priorities critical to Michigan families:
"Michigan's future demands that we continue our work to diversify our economy and create new jobs and that we keep police officers and fire fighters on the job and on our streets. Michigan's future demands that our children continue their education beyond high school and that we protect people who are at risk during these tough economic times. While there is more work to be done, I am grateful that the House Democrats have taken an important step to protect these priorities, including their support for a Quality Assurance Assessment Program that will bring significant additional federal dollars to Michigan, provide a 76 percent increase in payments to physicians who deliver care to our neediest citizens, and thereby increase access to healthcare."
