Granholm\'s budget: more cash for schools but not for communities

Public schools will have more money, local governments won't and hospitals will pay more under Gov. Jennifer Granholm's proposed 2006-07 budget released today. School districts would receive $200 per pupil more than this year. The budget also included more money for pre-school and after school programs for public schools. The state's 15 public universities will see an average increase of 2 percent in state aid, their first increase in several years.
