Michigan Advance | February 17, 2025
For the second time in a week, Democratic lawmakers in Michigan laid out the consequences if the Trump administration’s plans to defund the U.S. Department of Education are allowed to proceed.
On Friday, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow (D-Royal Oak), and state Reps. Kelly Breen (D-Novi) and state Rep. Matt Koleszar (D-Plymouth), held a news conference at the Sheet Metal Workers Local 80 union hall in Southfield to generally condemn the administration’s actions with the department as well as specifically criticize Linda McMahon, President Donald Trump’s nominee to be education secretary.
