Senate, House Republican plans public for months to balance budget, avoid shutdown, and protect essential services WITHOUT raising taxes

Calling today's 11th-hour marathon budget session a step in the right direction, Senate Majority Leader Mike Bishop and House Republican Leader Kevin Elsenheimer today invited the governor and House Democrats to make their outline to balance the budget public and demonstrate their sincerity by moving it through the legislative process.

Bishop said his caucus already sent House Democrats and the governor their plan to balance the budget without raising taxes, noting a clear difference in priorities between Republicans and Democrats.

"The Senate Republicans have a public plan that has been vetted through committees and passed by the full Senate," said Bishop, R-Rochester. "We are looking forward to a budget process that is transparent and clear, not held behind closed doors with unaccountable and unelected mediators. As we close in on the Oct. 1 deadline, we are also looking for expedient action from the House and governor."

Elsenheimer noted the House Republican plan to Reinvigorate, Reinvest and Reform Michigan was introduced 43 days ago on July 22. The House Republican plan creates jobs, balances the budget without raising taxes, and preserves stimulus dollars to jumpstart the state's economy.

"Republicans have a plan to solve the budget crisis without raising taxes - and we're ready to balance the budget today," said Elsenheimer, R-Kewadin. "The GOP plans are on the table, before the public, ready to go. I'm disappointed that the state is in the shadows of another government shutdown after the House Democrats' summer vacation, and when the ideas proposed today start to move in the form of legislation, then we'll know they are serious."

HANSEN EARNS MAJOR ENDORSEMENT IN BID FOR STATE SENATE

Former 34th District State Senator Endorses Hansen for his old seat
(HART, MI) – State Senate candidate Goeff Hansen (R‐Hart) today announced that he has
received the endorsement of former State Senator Leon Stille (R‐Spring Lake) in his bid for the 34th State Senate seat. Stille represented the 34th District (formerly the 32nd District) before retiring due to term limits.

“Michigan is faced with some very serious challenges right now and I believe that Goeff Hansen is the best person to represent our interests in the State Senate as we struggle to turn our state around,” Stille said. “His experience as a local small business owner, combined with his determination to get the job done right, will ensure West Michigan has a strong voice at the table working for us.”

Senator Stille served in the State Senate from 1994 – 2002, where he focused on education and agriculture issues as the chair of the Senate School Aid (K‐12) Appropriations Subcommittee and the Education Subcommittee, Vice Chair of the Farming, Agribusiness and Food Systems Committee and member of the Education Committee.

“I am pleased to have earned the support of Senator Stille,” Hansen said. “As our state senator, Leon Stille worked diligently to protect our natural resources and farmland and provide for a quality education for all of our children. As your next state senator, I pledge to continue to focus on those issues as part of my priorities for our district.”

Goeff Hansen is the owner of a local family business and is currently serving his third term as a state representative. He lives in Hart with his wife Tami. Together they have two grown children and four grandchildren.

Senator Stille’s endorsement comes as Hansen announces over 200 endorsements from leaders across the 34th State Senate District. To see the complete list of supporters or to learn more about Hansen’s background as a family business owner, his voting record as a state representative, or his plan to cut taxes, reduce spending and grow the West Michigan economy, residents are invited to visit his website at www.hansen4senate.com.
