Public schools will face cuts
Lansing - In a swift reaction to the budget deficit, Gov. Jennifer Granholm notified state public school districts Wednesday that funding will be cut as soon as March. "This is painful to any parent, whether you're a Republican or a Democrat," Granholm said. Despite the regret Granholm expressed, she said the budget had to be dealt with as soon as possible. "We have to bring the budget into line," she said.
