People in Michigan................?

I have seriously heard that much of the money is, in fact, redirected to a mysterious "general operating fund." By the time the leftovers trickle down to the school district level...it is little or nothing..

Michigan desperately needs to get rid of its hundreds of individual school districts and consolidate them into a number that can be managed for far less expense...

Also, we need to go Unicameral in Lansing..time to "cut the fat" and get rid of the bicameral system...

These clowns work part time..yet get huge salaries..perks..travel..and lifetime heathcare for serving even just one term.....Now that is a pretty sweet deal...

And, oh yeah, let us get Granholm the heck out of Lansing this fall..

Thanks!

off topic, but a buddy of mine from michigan sent me something funny the other day.

Here in Missouri, they sold us the lottery on the idea that it would go to education. Soon after we started the lottery we found that the state was just putting the money in the general fund. We had to have a special election to mandate that the funds went to education, and still dosent look like its getting there.

First Michigan is a State in DECLINE. The mayor if Detroit is a crook OPENLY..a thug running this once great city that looks like a third world nation. I would challenge anyone to google picture of Detroit and just look at the filth of this city and it's government. Michigan will have to hit bottom first...then we in other States will come to clean up the mess...like us here in Ohio

I used to live in Kalamazoo, and I always wondered what was happening to the lottery money, Michigan said it was all winding up in the Detroit school district, but i did not believe it.

There are less pupils in Michigan as they are all leaving due to the economy. I am sure you have heard last one out of Michigan please turn out the lights.

S.C. has an educational lottery that works well.

I agree. Once it used to be "Say yes to Michigan!", now it's "Wake up Michigan!"

Well it is Michigan - go buckeyes and screw the blue.

look, my buddies & i are making millions on this scam. you need to shut your damn mouth & go back to watching american idol & cops. when we want you opinion we'll tell you what it is.
