密歇根州立法者面临压力,要在9月30日的最后期限之前商定2026财政年度的国家预算。 Michigan lawmakers are under pressure to agree on a state budget for the 2026 fiscal year by the September 30 deadline. 共和党领导的众议院和民主党领导的参议院在为学校、道路和执法提供资金的问题上意见不一。 The Republican-led House and Democrat-led Senate disagree on funding for schools, roads, and law enforcement. 同时,两院通过的九项法案在法律上处于无足轻重的地位,因为参议院起诉众议院不向惠特默总督送交这些法案。 Meanwhile, nine bills passed by both chambers are in legal limbo as the Senate sues the House for not sending them to Governor Whitmer. 上诉法院的裁决可以开创一个法律先例。 The appeals court's decision could set a legal precedent. 立法者们乐观地认为,他们可以就预算达成妥协,尽管时间已经不多了。 Lawmakers are optimistic they can reach a compromise on the budget, though time is running short.
