Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, running for governor, urges political cooperation to resolve Michigan’s post-deadline budget woes.
Spending July 4 weekend in Benzie County, gubernatorial candidate and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan emphasized the need to bridge partisan divides as Michigan missed the July 1 deadline to pass its state budget.
He warned that failing to enact a budget leaves school districts in limbo—unable to plan their fiscal year—underscoring the urgent need for political cohesion.
Duggan drew on his Detroit turnaround experience, noting how cross-party collaboration helped spark urban growth and revitalization. He pledged to use the same approach statewide, focusing on priorities like early literacy improvement and attracting tech sector jobs to retain young talent.
His message—a call to shift from partisan bickering to tangible policy solutions—sets him apart from entrenched legislative discord.
