Governor Gretchen Whitmer and the leaders of the state House and Senate say they have reached an agreement to pass the School Aid Budget and state budget before October 1. However, an overall deal has not been reached.

The announcement came in statements from Whitmer, Senate Majority Leader Winnie Brinks, and Speaker of the House Matt Hall.

The press release says the "agreement ensures top priorities for both Democrats and Republicans are included in the bipartisan budget, which will lower Michiganders costs, reduce waste and increase government efficiency, and help Michiganders thrive."

It also says the agreement includes $2 billion for road funding.

However, the agreement is also called a framework by Brinks, with Hall indicating in his statement that more work needs to be done.
