Michigan lawmakers didn’t just pass an $83 billion budget early Thursday, they also approved nearly 100 other bills during a marathon 19-hour session before finally breaking for summer recess.

Some of the bigger policy changes, such as opening the Legislature and governor’s office to Freedom of Information Act requests and expanding unemployment benefits to 26 weeks, made immediate headlines.

Read on to learn more about the "Taylor Swift bot ban" and the bill against the ludicrous "Gay Panic Defense."

The unemployment benefits news would be better if one could truthfully apply without the gauntlet questionnaire and still qualify.

At this rate, if a job isn't going well and I can see the writing on the wall, rather than:

  1. try to save my job
  2. stick it out for appearance's sake
  3. go through the experience of being fired

I'd rather just resign.
