 League
and Members Testify on Revenue Sharing –
Last week, the House held another hearing on revenue sharing
and Governor Snyder’s proposal he unveiled during his
special message a few weeks ago. League staff along with a
few League members testified at the hearing on a variety of
topics including the history of the funding, the impact of
cuts, and questions we have surrounding the Governor’s
proposal. The League specifically indicated that while we
aren’t opposed to going down a path of setting criteria
to obtain the funding, we remain concerned as to how this
will be implemented. MORE>
