Heres how it works: Every year the Michigan Legislature passes - TopicsExpress



          

Heres how it works: Every year the Michigan Legislature passes an annual budget authorizing billions of dollars of spending. Total spending this year is around $51.3 billion, and the governor has proposed $52 billion in the next fiscal year (which begins Oct. 1). If it is buried in the budget, legislators may never have to record a vote on just the bailout. Instead, it would be one of hundreds of line items included in a giant omnibus spending authorization bill. Lawmakers will be able to say, Im against the bailout, but not passing a budget would mean a government shutdown, which no one wants. michigancapitolconfidential/20030
