Gretchen Whitmer has signed a budget that she says is " fiscally responsible" without raising taxes.

The $82.5 billion budget for fiscal year 2025which starts July 1funds public safety, affordable housing, education, and roads, among other things, the Detroit Free Press reports.

"This budget will grow our economy, fix the damn roads, ensure first responders have the funding to keep our neighborhoods safe, and build a heck of a lot more affordable housing, while also bringing down costs and putting more money back in people's pockets," Whitmer said in a statement.

She said the budget "puts students first by making historic investments to improve learning outcomes from pre-K through college, so that every child can get a world-class education."

Democratic leaders praised the budget, which they said represents their "core Democratic values," the Detroit Free Press reports.

"By placing the hardworking people of our state at the forefront of our budget negotiations, we are building up a Michigan where everyone has an equitable opportunity to succeed," said Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks.
