Delay apparently is a winning strategy.
In July, the Senate sent a bill to the House that refused
$3.7 million in funding for a newly completed state police headquarters in
downtown Lansing, and House leaders, nervous about bringing the matter to a
full vote in the chamber, have let the issue languish in committee until they
could shore up support.
House sources say they expect the House to finally take the matter today and send it back to the Senate largely unchanged. There, the expectation is that the Senate will restore funding for the controversial project, and then resend it to the House.
So if everything goes according to plan, those state police officials
can still plan on moving out from their existing headquarters on Harrison Road in January – a building now leased from Michigan State University
