众议院议长马特霍尔(Matt Hall)敦促预算协议避免停工, House Speaker Matt Hall urges budget deal to avoid shutdown, opposes moving 2026 primary, citing fairness and stability.

众议院议长马特·霍尔仍然相信,国家预算协议将在9月30日的最后期限前达成,警告停产会伤害所有密歇根人,并强调妥协从权力地位看最为强烈。 House Speaker Matt Hall remains confident a state budget deal will be reached before the September 30 deadline, warning a shutdown would harm all Michiganders and stressing that compromise is strongest from a position of power. 他继续反对从八月起提升密歇根2026年初选, 认为这一改变出于政治动机且不公平, He continues to oppose moving up Michigan’s 2026 primary election from August, calling the change politically motivated and unfair, especially to candidates like Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan, who is running as an independent. 虽然一些共和党立法者支持改变初级选举,以便有更多时间进行选举筹备工作,但霍尔坚持要维持目前的时间表,以避免周期中期的中断。 While some Republican lawmakers support shifting the primary to allow more time for election preparations, Hall insists on maintaining the current timeline to avoid mid-cycle disruptions. 密歇根共和党主席Jim Runestad尚未采取正式立场, Michigan Republican Party Chair Jim Runestad hasn’t taken a formal stance but acknowledged growing interest in the idea within the caucus. 预算谈判仍然有争议, 对国家雇员薪资及方案经费有分歧, 但Hall表示正在取得进展, Budget talks remain contentious, with disagreements over state employee pay and program funding, but Hall says progress is being made and remains willing to withdraw previous proposals if a shutdown occurs.
