    The only two times Jennifer Granholm has cut spending is for State Police and funding for schools. Via the Detroit News:

    Rebutting charges that her veto of $52 million for higher-spending school districts was a political move, Gov. Jennifer Granholm said today the Republican-controlled Senate "left me no choice" but to slash the money.

    "My veto reflected what I was supposed to do, which is to sign a balanced budget," Granholm said at a news conference this afternoon.

    The governor added she may have to cut more money from schools once the state treasurer and House and Senate fiscal experts reach a consensus on the recession-caused shortfall in the school aid fund. Those cuts could come in the form of pro-rata reductions as soon as next month.

    This is nothing more than a Democrat temper tantrum. Governor Granholm wants a tax increase, and she is not getting it. Therefore, our Governor lashes out trying to sting the states citizens by cutting funding to our schools in an effort to create a public outcry for more taxes to fund our schools.

    Granholm won't cut the millions of dollars of tax credits given to out of state company's to film movies in Michigan. This is the same project that has created the equivalent of 254 full time jobs. She won't repeal the tax credits given to windmill, solar panel or battery company's that, on average, create only 29% of the jobs promised. But, she will cut funding for police and funding for schools.
