Michigan has a new budget after the plan got a signature today from Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
The budget includes over $200 million for both education and health.

The budget also includes $100 million for programs to attract businesses.
The 2021 budget goes into effect on October 1st which is the beginning of the 2021 fiscal year.
