Senator Roger Victory voted in favor of the fiscal year 2026 Michigan state budget, highlighting its focus on local infrastructure, tax relief, and government efficiency.

“This is a balanced budget that invests in our future by finally making a serious investment in our local roads — while also reducing total state spending and providing much-needed tax relief to seniors and hardworking families,” said Victory, R-Hudsonville. “The two biggest state budget issues I have heard from folks around West Michigan were our roads and the rising cost of living, so we’re investing nearly $2 billion more into fixing our local roads and cutting taxes on tips, overtime and social security.”

The general omnibus budget, outlined in House Bill 4706, allocates additional resources to repair local roads and bridges. Senate Bill 166 addresses school funding with a $593 million increase in the per-pupil foundation allowance, a 25% increase in funding for at-risk students, and $321 million dedicated to mental health and safety grants in schools.

“This budget includes several good-government reforms, such as enhancing transparency on spending projects, increasing funding for our schools, and saving tax dollars by cutting waste, fraud and abuse,” Victory said.
