State Rep. Sue Allor, of Wolverine, this week joined her colleagues in approving a new state budget that overcomes financial challenges presented by COVID-19.

“It’s incredibly important to our Northern Michigan families that their children be able to continue with their education in a manner that takes into account the many challenges created by COVID-19,” Allor said. “This plan will help keep our communities safe with flexibility for remote and in-person learning, or a combination of both.”
