Education Budget Deadline to July 1

Ending Taxpayer-Funded Lifetime Health Care for (Future) State Lawmakers

Effects of Revenue Sharing Cuts/ Public Safety
- Excerpt:"Revenue sharing is vital to keeping Michigan’s families and neighborhoods safe. Unfortunately, all too often, revenue sharing is an easy target for cuts during tough budget times, and our residents and communities have paid the price."
