LANSING – Michigan’s Legislature has approved a $1.3 billion budget plan that would spend more on roads, environmental cleanup and mental health counselors in schools.

The bills heading to Gov. Rick Snyder for his expected signature also would allocate funding to hire more child protective services caseworkers in the wake of a scathing audit of the agency.

Rep. Beau LaFave, R-Iron Mountain, said the budget will provide more financial support for local recycling programs, Upper Peninsula ski jumps, Northern Michigan University, and rural broadband improvements

The budget plan allocates $10 million for a northern Michigan tourism and sports fund, for projects such as the Pine Mountain ski jump and Copper Peak.

About $20 million in grants to improve rural broadband access is including in the plan. LaFave said he also successfully included a provision to add funding for Northern Michigan University’s career tech and engineering facility.
