| WASHINGTON
— Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., and Carl Levin, D-Mich., announced
today that H.R. 2764, the Consolidated Appropriations Act – 2008,
which the House passed last night and the Senate is expected to pass tomorrow,
contains millions of dollars for projects across Michigan.
“This funding is an investment in our
state’s continued and future success,” Stabenow said. “We
are helping to serve and protect our communities, ensuring continued
access to high-quality health care, supporting innovation and technological
development in our industries, all while creating new jobs. This bill
also includes language recognizing the importance of the Great Lakes
and the unique role they play in Michigan, the nation’s economy,
and our environment. I look forward to the President signing this legislation
that is so critical for Michigan families.”
“Communities across our great state will benefit from the funding
provided in this legislation,” Levin said. “This bill addresses
some of Michigan’s crucial needs such as protecting the Great
Lakes from invasive species, improving our transportation infrastructure,
enhancing our health care system, and supporting our educational institutions.
These projects contribute positively to the quality of life in Michigan.”
