    More misinformation? (none / 0) (#7)

    "A significant portion of the tax money paid by citizens from the West side of the State ends up in Detroit."

    There's no truth to this claim. The majority of school aid funds come from three sources, sales tax, income tax, and the 6 mill education tax. Together, they represent almost 2/3rds of the total revenue for schools. All three revenue sources come predominately from those areas with the greatest population and development, southeast Michigan and cities like Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Kalamazoo and Lansing. While the areas around GR and Kalamazoo contribute significantly towards school aid funds, most areas of western Michigan get more back in school aid than they pay into the system. Look it up!
