Governor Whitmer proposes free lunch, breakfast for all students in new budget
(WXYZ) — Governor Gretchen Whitmer announced a record-breaking budget proposal that would make a big difference for Michigan families.
The $79 billion budget includes a general fund of nearly $15 billion And school aid of $19 billion.
The governor is pushing for universal pre-k, help for teachers, and free breakfast and lunch for all public school students. Many parents are hoping the free lunch plan will survive when the legislature votes on the budget over the next few weeks.
"I think it's phenomenal," parent Millicent Dasgupta said.
