Federalist: On October 1, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) line-item vetoed $1.47 million in grants for autism programs. Soon after, Republican Senate hopeful John James donated $10,000 to the Autism Alliance.
According to a Detroit business publication, Whitmer also vetoed a $1.25 million appropriation that funds one-fourth of the Autism Alliance of Michigan’s services. It provide services to adults and children who need help navigating medical, educational, and insurance issues.
Whitmer’s agenda has been line-item vetoing the Michigan budget to combat the Republican-held state senate.
Former Lt. Gov. Brian Calley has been a strong advocate for autism spending within the Republican Party because his daughter Reagan has autism. Calley was the first to rally around James when he discovered that James had donated $10,000 in campaign funds to the Autism Alliance. read more

Yes. Because gov. funding wasnt on the mind of the founding fathers. I know, theres a few exceptions and this may be one, but government should not be involved in stuff outside its primary function spelled out in the constitution. Thank you John James for the donation. Thats the way its done.
@CWW ~ one small thing … pretty sure the founding fathers did not write Michigan’s constitution … matter of fact, Michigan didn’t have a constitution ’til 1963
Well, I guess I’m going to have to hop on over to his website to help him replace those funds. My grandson is autistic.
Of course the commie cunt wouldn’t have a problem funding some illegal alien benefit program bullshit!
Fuk the democRATS!
Is that some sort of campaign violation, funding another, non-affiliated cause with campaign money?
In this case, I hope not.
Michigan is fortunate to have a candidate of this calibre in such a run down state. Time for voters to grow a brain.
