When Republican state Rep. Jim DeSana voted earlier this month to cut $645 million in work project funding, he unknowingly axed about $2 million in state funding meant to repair the roof of a building named after his father. The Carleton lawmaker, who recently launched a Lansing version of Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), was one of 16 Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee to vote in favor of roughly $645 million in cuts to work projects on Dec. 10. Included in those $645 million in cuts was a $63.5 million line item for infrastructure grants; one of those infrastructure projects was a $2 million grant for the James R. DeSana Center for Arts and Culture for "historic rehabilitation project."
