Campaign Unavailable We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit AFT Michigan Get Active.The short explanation of this alert was: Michigan’s budget crisis has not been solved. The Higher Education budget eliminates almost all financial aid, not just the Promise Grants. The K-12 budget has not moved, but the ideas for restoring some of the cuts will leave us in even worse shape next year. Please contact your Representative and Senator to tell them we cannot solve the budget crisis with cuts alone, we need to raise taxes as well. If we don't solve this structural budget deficit now, we are looking at 10,000-15,000 education employee layoffs across the state this year and the same next year. We are paid with tax dollars; we must support legislators who are willing to cast the hard vote to raise taxes. If you would like to view details on this alert, please visit here. |
