House Speaker Andy Dillon (D-Redford Twp.) issued the following statement regarding recent budget developments:
"I am extremely disappointed that the Senate Republicans failed to act yet again today after promising to do so," Speaker Dillon said. "This pattern of inaction and refusal by Republicans to come to the negotiating table will drive us to a government shutdown.
"While Republican leaders continue to obstruct this process, I will continue to meet with a bipartisan group of legislators on a comprehensive solution that will protect education, public safety and veterans' services. I call on the Senate Majority Leader to live up to his words when he said that he would be here to help."
