MIRS Monday, October 6, 2025

This past week, legislators passed a state budget, giving schools $10,050 per-student, cutting back substantially on economic development spending and reducing government job posts. On this episode of the MIRS Monday Podcast, host Samantha Shriber walks listeners through the day, from Thursday afternoon through after 3 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 3 (1:21). 

Also, $1.85 billion in new yearly money was secured for roads, but not without protests. Weed will be placed under a new 24 percent wholesale tax, and businesses won't have access to the same Trump-era tax deduction benefits on the state level.
