LANSING — Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey said Wednesday he is in no hurry to consider a supplemental spending plan for 2020 promoted by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer after she used line-item vetoes to cut nearly $1 billion from the budget approved by the Michigan Legislature.

"I'm afraid the budget is done," said Shirkey, R-Clarklake.

"Supplementals are always under consideration. I'm not saying never, but right now the budget is done."

Shirkey's comments signal there is no early end in sight to the ongoing fight between the Democratic governor and the Republican-controlled Legislature over the budget for the fiscal year that began Tuesday.

Shirkey and House Speaker Lee Chatfield, R-Levering, are scheduled to meet Thursday with Whitmer, but Shirkey said he wants to talk about what comes next in terms of other legislative priorities and a long-term road funding deal.

Shirkey said Whitmer "has not helped her relationship" with the Legislature by issuing 147 line-item vetoes — many of them aimed at Republican causes and districts — and using State Administrative Board powers to shift more than $600 million inside 13 different state departments.

Whitmer called on Republicans on Wednesday morning to get to work on a supplemental budget bill that could reverse some of the vetoes while restoring some of her own spending priorities, such as improving funding for departments overseeing prisons and health care.

"There are a lot of things in those line-item vetoes that the citizens of the state of Michigan are desperately waiting for a correction on," Shirkey said.

"If my governor thinks that she made a mistake with her red pen, she can let us know which ones she'd like to have back, so we can reinstate those — or at least consider reinstating them," he said.

In the meantime, "all options are on the table," including returning to taxpayers the $947 million Whitmer cut from the $59-billion budget, he said.

"I'm still scratching my head" at Whitmer, who campaigned on fixing the roads, vetoing $375 million to fix roads and bridges, Shirkey said.

Whitmer, who had called for a 45-cent-per-gallon increase in the state's fuel tax, said that using general fund money to fix the roads, as called for by legislative Republicans, is only a stopgap measure that makes roads more expensive to fix in the long term while taking money away from other priorities such as education and the environment.

Sen. Curtis Hertel, D-East Lansing, the lawmaker tapped by Whitmer to negotiate a supplemental spending bill, said doing so will take some time.

"All sides need to tone down the rhetoric for a while," Hertel said.

"There has been trust broken on both sides and it's going to be hard to trust each other for a while."

Gideon D'Assandro, a spokesman for Chatfield, expressed surprise Whitmer went to the news media with the items she is seeking in a supplemental appropriations bill.

"The speaker has not seen her list," D'Assandro said. "But he is shocked she is using children's safety, road repairs, veterans' benefits, and people with autism as political pawns for leverage to help her get her pet projects and a gas tax hike."
