CyberSurvey: Tuition blues
Excuse me JOHN but, the DNR is funded by the licensing fees paid by law abiding sportsmen. If you don't hunt and fish and you haven't bought a license, you haven't contributed to the cost of the DNR. No tax dollars are funneled to the DNR for wildlife conservation. As a sportsman that buys multiple licenses every year, I am way more upset about Jenny and her cronies TAKING conservation dollars from the DNR and appropriating it elsewhere.(like over paid teachers)
To repeat - anything the DNR does in regards to wildlife conservation and patrolling for violators is 100% paid through monies collected via license sales. IT IS NOT YOUR TAX DOLLARS!!!
Students Stung by Promise grants
Thankyou Governor for selling the tobacco settlement that paid for the then "Merit Scholarship" of $1500 ($50 million a year). You didn't have to raise it for every student, nor raise it to $4000 that the state didn't have ($140 million a year). YOU made them the Promise, now you find a way to keep it with NO funding. It's not the states job to giveaway money it doesn't have. You must not have read the state constitution. Thats not MANDATED by the state to perform. It's a pet project thats gone bust. Such is life.

John Brandt of Detroit says that the school children are subsidizing hunting land? Last time I checked I never saw a school child pay for anything except a $1.50 soda or $60 video game. I think what he means to say is that money is being diverted from the schools to places he doesn't like or support.
Well, Michigan schools get the 5th highest budget per student in the U.S. Are you getting your money's worth? Perhaps your beef should be with the teachers, their lucrative benefits package and their unions.
For the most part hunters pull their own weight (and no, I am not a hunter or gun owner).
Tough job for Detroit's academic czar
A personal publicist to the czar couldn't have penned a better PR piece for the czar.
Granholm And The Promise Free Money
MillerJ, You are right on!!! I lost my job. Company moved out of state. Better business environment, just could not make it in Michigan. I still have a house payment to make and property taxes to pay. I have a family to support, I'll make it so will they.
Granholm And The Promise Free Money
I find it interesting that many of the media outlets including The Detroit News failed to print one of Granholm's quotes. She said that you should be able to fire the people you elected into office that did not vote to fund the program. SO, can we fire this idiot we have for a governor? She is the big reason that we are in this financial mess in Michigan. She wants to raise taxes to cover her rear end. It is not going to get easier in Michigan, so we might as well weather the Jenny hurricane until we can kick her out and go back to Canada.

Snibbs is totally correct. The Gov has now abdicated her throne and want the children of Michigan to run state govt(God knows they could do a better job). This woman had the opportunity to change govt many years ago and chose instead to allow the MEA and the labor unions to tell her how to run the state of Michigan. Now the state of Michigan in the state of Despair and Disrepait. If the Gov needs someone to blame------------------look directly in the mirror.
Sad and pathetic, she is.

Maybe if Michigan valued your CHILDREN more than fish?! Why is no one questioning the dispersal of PUBLIC money in this State? Every year TENS of MILLIONS of dollars from The PUBLIC natural resources, the irreplaceable oil and gas revenues, are quietly turned over to "sportsmen". WHY? Money from IRREPLACEABLE Oil and Gas should be going to educate and research NEW energy resources. An "ELITE FEW" who already can afford to take a vacation fishing, should NOT be getting Taxpayer subsidies ...... that is SOCIALISM! There are millions of acres already dedicated to hunting and fishing, these MILLIONS of STATE acres are easily doubled by farmland that is hunted and fished, if these "manly men" think they need more, THEY should PAY for it, THAT is CAPITALISM. Where is their "rugged individualism? Why are the State's School Children subsidizing recreation for those who turn right around and claim that hunting and fishing teaches "responsibility"? Return that oil and gas money where it BELONGS, educating Scientists and providing Grants to discover the ENERGY America and Michigan need. Oil and Gas revenues should be used to fund the REPLACEMENT RESEARCH for the energy that their depletion will necessitate. America is in competition with all of Asia for jobs, America needs EDUCATION!

Three kids in college. So how important do you think it is to us?
This is the first time in my entire life I ever had a chance to get anything for free from the government. Oh, I got two weeks of unemployment once in the 1980's if that counts.
When I see people living for free, extended-extended unemployment, gimme goverment attitude, on disability at 40 and 50 years old, it makes me sick. I know a few and most are faking it. Have you ever seen anyone on unemployment find a job before their benefits expired? I haven't. We live in a cesspool of human scumbags here in the DEtroit area.
And Granholm really sucks for breaking her "Promise".

It's unfortunate that we weren't able to connect with Karen Bouffard to talk about this yesterday, but Michigan Technological University wants everyone to know that we are keeping our commitment to students to replace the Michigan Promise Scholarships for the fall semester.
Another broken Democrat Promise
Listen, like I mentioned before, the SCHOOL TUITION BUBBLE is going to POP as soon as the government stops paying for everyone college and stops giving PELL GRANTS. This will happen. The colleges are cashing in while they can. Personally, I'm paying for school one class at a time. I REFUSE to take out federal loans to pay SKYROCKETING TUITION prices. Screw these colleges, they are just like the health care system. They live in a bubble separated outside of the rest of the world. STUDENTS should PROTEST and boycott the COLLEGES. Unfortunate all they due is take out another college loan and pay outrageously high prices for school. ITs sad because young students SUCK and figuring out there finances and forecasting what these college loans are going to cost them. THEY will BE paying for a VERY long time. I'd rather spend 10 years getting a 4 year degree and paying for it myself rather than rushing through and taking out college loans. It would take me 20 years to pay the college loan at double the loan amount.
U of Michigan
Why doesn't U of M cover the whole promise grant like MSU.It Just U of M and Coleman showing more of the racism (reverse) that happens at the school. My son earned it and if some people at at school are getting it then everyone should.

Hey! We do not need your 'RINO' vote!
If you are soooooooo bothered by this 'PROMISE'.... it is adviseable that you donate everything you have to 'fund' this entitlement program!
A liberal is someone who feels a great debt to his fellow man, which debt he proposes to pay off with anothers money!
And, do not forget this state is OUT OF MONEY because of 'two-penny-jenny' and all of her liberal-out-of-control-spending!!!!
Elections have dire consequences.... Keep voting for liberals... it will only get worse! Liberals suffer from Government Derangement Syndrome!
C'mon, get real
Why all the wailing and gnashing of teeth over a lousy $1000? Six weeks of work in a part-time job at the mall or coffee shop would net that same amount of money and maybe more. If a college student can't figure that out on their own, maybe they shouldn't be in college after all.
