LANSING, Mich. — The Michigan House of Representatives on Wednesday passed the Republican budget bill.
It passed 59-45.
The spending package Republicans are calling the Value for MI dollars budget is $78.5 billion. That's $5 billion less than what the governor proposed and $6 billion less than the Senate's proposal.

Funding for roads and public safety is included, and it also requires state employees to return to the office.
