State Shutdown?
WORSE THINGS COULD HAPPEN: Could Michigan be headed for a shut-down?
Governor Granholm says she wants to know by next week what programs might be affected if the state runs out of money in a few months and has to shut down.
The governor wants to fill this year’s $900 million hole in the budget with a mix of cuts, accounting changes, and a two-percent service tax.
Senate Republicans say they don’t want a tax increase and will focus on more cuts.
The governor’s spokeswoman warns a shut-down is a real possibility unless something is done.
The last thing we need is a tax on services.
