'A Real Bipartisan Win'

The new legislation is expected to bring nearly $20 million to the state. Part of the new revenue has been allocated already to support the state's school aid fund ($4.8m) and the First Responder Presumed Coverage Fund ($4m).

Commenting on the bill, Gov. Whitmer called it 'a real bipartisan win,' as the revenue that will follow the legalisation of internet poker, casino, and sports betting is going to be used for the good of the community.

'These bills will put more dollars in Michigan classrooms and increase funding for firefighters battling cancer. This is a real bipartisan win for our state.'
