A $617 million bailout of Detroit Public Schools was approved by Michigan late Wednesday, eliciting a range of responses from lawmakers across the state. Sen. Goeff Hansen, R-Hart, came to tears during last night’s legislative session.
“We’ve been living this for over a year,” Hansen said on Stateside. “You get to the end and it’s not exactly as you envisioned it.”
Hansen added that it was "disheartening" that the house package didn't include a bipartisan solution that was best for the people of Detroit.
"Politics gets in the way and it becomes partisan."
Hansen joined Stateside to share his thoughts on yesterday’s DPS bailout legislation.
