Michigan’s budget keeps growing — but results don’t. 📉 $7B more for K-12 since 2018, yet 60% of 3rd graders still can’t read at grade level. Time to spend smarter, not just more. Learn more from WMPF’s President & CEO, Jase Bolger 🎥 bit.ly/46bAU9M #michigan #policy

Michigan deserves more than just an on-time budget — we need a responsible one. WMPF board member Mark Murray writes in Bridge Michigan that lawmakers must resist political games and focus on accountability, efficiency, and results. bit.ly/4pEqE1o #michigan #government

A shutdown is inconvenient but the bigger risk is a budget done wrong. The debate over $3 billion for roads shows why lawmakers must focus on responsibility, not speed. Call your legislator, tell them to get it done right. 📽️ from WMPF Jase Bolger below. bit.ly/3KlnoIi

More money. Worse results. Michigan spends billions more on education - but over 60% of third graders can’t read at a third grade level. We don’t need to spend more. We need to spend smarter. Hear more from WMPF President & CEO, Jase Bolger.

Despite decades of spending billions on targeted business tax incentives, #Michigan has lost nearly half its auto manufacturing jobs. Time to rethink what really makes our state competitive. More from WMPF President & CEO Jase Bolger below. 📽️ bit.ly/3WvqD2G

Billions in incentives. Broken promises. Fewer jobs. As WMPF Chair John Kennedy writes in The Detroit News, #Michigan must stop subsidizing failure and focus on real growth — cutting red tape, lowering costs & leveling the playing field for all job creators. bit.ly/4qVnXt4

State spending keeps climbing, but too little reaches our classrooms & teachers. A petition to “tax the rich” would actually slam small businesses with a 9.25% rate — with no guarantee it helps education. DECLINE TO SIGN! 📽️ of WMPF's Jase Bolger below. youtube.com/shorts/M5h8C2R…
