Yesterday,
the State's leading economists agreed that there is an additional and
unexpected $483 million surplus for the current fiscal year.
On
the heels of the well-documented financial crises in Buena Vista,
Pontiac and now Albion, we think there should be no debate: It's time to
do the right thing and invest in education.
This money could go a long way to restoring the devastating cuts enacted by Lansing politicians over the past few years.
Governor
Snyder talks a lot about
Michigan being the "Comeback State", but with headlines detailing
schools closing early and high schools ceasing to exist, it's clear that
mantra will never be realized without our Governor and Legislative
leadership finally funding schools.
Please TAKE ACTION to tell Lansing that it's time to do the right thing and invest in education!
