Niles Community School District and 150 others

Last week Senate Republicans made it clear that their priorities were with big business and not with our state’s children, working families and senior citizens. As I stated on the Senate floor, they are choosing corporate greed over kids in need by taking hundreds of millions of dollars out of public education to support an unprecedented, unproven tax handout for big business.

Senator Proos joined his Republican caucus in supporting these drastic cuts to local schools, choosing to plummet roughly 150 school districts into bankruptcy in order to fund a $1.8 billion business tax break. Niles Community School District alone will be facing a $2,849,454 slash in funding.

Follow up:

My colleague, Senator Tupac Hunter, said, "When it comes to raising taxes on our working families, you're right, we are the party of no. When it comes to burdening our retirees to pay for corporate tax handouts, you're darn right we are the party of no. And when it comes to voting on a budget that cripples our public education system to line the pockets of corporate CEOs, we're the party of H-E-double-hockey-sticks no."

The Senate Republicans rushed through a series of budget proposals without a single Democrat’s vote, budgets that place the burden of Michigan’s struggling economy on our most vulnerable citizens, our children, seniors and working families. The Senate Democrats are united in standing up for our priorities, and while we recognize reforms are necessary, we cannot have those conversations until we’ve protected those who make Michigan great from being punished in the process .You can’t move Michigan forward if you sacrifice the workforce, the entrepreneurs and the business people of tomorrow in the process.

Thank you, and please check out our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/MichiganSenateDemocrats and join the conversation there.
