Matt Maddock, a member of the Michigan House of Representatives, made several posts on his Twitter account in February 2026 criticizing both international and state developments.
On February 10, 2026, Maddock posted about the situation in Cuba, writing: “Communist Cuba will be out of oil in 10 days. No gasoline. Flights cancelled. Power is off 40 hours and on for 4. What happens next?”
Later that day, Maddock addressed education spending in Michigan, stating: “Michigan taxpayers have spent over a billion on @MichiganDems plan to teech kids how to spel and went from #24 to 44th worst and @gretchenwhitmer wants 650 million mor and kidz still kant even spel the most imporent things their taut in skool.” This tweet references Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s proposal to increase funding for education by $650 million.
On February 11, Maddock continued his critique of education funding with another post: “That’s an average of 12 million per school. Democrats would quadruple our property taxes if they could.” The statement points to concerns about rising property taxes potentially resulting from increased educational spending.
The discussion around Michigan’s educational outcomes has been ongoing as recent assessments show changes in state rankings over time. Debates regarding school funding and student performance remain central issues among state legislators and policymakers.
