Schools, others hope for money in spending plan

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The budget proposal that Gov. Rick Snyder will deliver Thursday isn't expected to contain the sweeping tax changes and spending cuts that made last year's plan such a change from the past.

Still, it's creating some anxious moments for school officials and local government leaders waiting to hear if the cuts they took in the current budget will be reversed.

The Republican governor already has said he plans to put more money into education and public safety and that he wants $1.4 billion more for road and bridge repairs in the budget that takes effect Oct. 1.

But with state revenues growing slowly and the economy still soft, Snyder isn't planning to increase spending sharply.

He may hand out any extra money as one-time help rather than permanent increases.
