Re: “Key Democrat warns Granholm on college grants”, Oct.27.
Representative George Cushingberry (D- Detroit) does not object to cutting funds to our public schools but he is adamant at retaining tuition grants to 40,000 private college students to the tune of 57 million dollars. We have a budget crisis on our hands in this state and my tax dollars need to support essential public services and not be handed out as gifts to private schools.

The fact that Cushingberry even asked (and he is probably not the only one) that tuition grants to "Private School" students be maintained probably is an indication that these politicians are getting some or a lot of support from these private schools, after all, it is free government (tax payer) money.
The support from these private schools (religious schools?) is probably quite valuable to Cushingberry et. al. for him to openly push for this money which is so obviously INAPPROPRIATE in the budget crunch the state of Michigan is in. He must think we all are as stupid as Detroiters who support corruption in Detroit are.
