Sen. Roger Victory, a Michigan state senator, has recently used his social media platform to address legislative and community issues. His posts cover topics ranging from the state budget process to local energy projects and national observances.
On September 15, 2025, Sen. Victory expressed frustration over the delayed state budget agreement, stating: "I am extremely disappointed that we have not been able to reach an agreement on the state budget this year by July 1. That’s why I co-sponsored Senate Joint Resolution E, which would freeze pay for legislators and the Governor if the budget is not done on time. If we can add".
The following day, September 16, 2025, he reported his participation in a local government meeting regarding a proposed battery energy storage system (BESS) project: "I joined members from the community at the Blendon Township board meeting as they discussed their concerns about the BESS Project. I am glad to stand with residents of my district to voice our concerns with this proposal and look forward to continuing to engage in the public https://t.co/AhUNPdpmiH".
On September 17, 2025, Sen. Victory marked Constitution Day with a post commemorating its historical significance: "Happy Constitution Day! 238 years ago our Founding Fathers ratified the Constitution. It still stands as the foundation our nation to this day! https://t.co/g8smg7hLXV".
Michigan’s constitution requires that lawmakers pass a balanced budget each year; delays can impact funding for schools and essential services. The introduction of measures such as Senate Joint Resolution E reflects ongoing debates over legislative accountability during protracted negotiations.
Battery energy storage systems like those proposed in Blendon Township are part of broader efforts across Michigan to modernize its electric grid and support renewable energy integration; however, these projects sometimes face opposition from local residents concerned about safety or environmental impacts.
Constitution Day is observed annually on September 17th nationwide to commemorate the signing of the U.S. Constitution in 1787.
