Michigan's educational and economic future depends on it.
LANSING -- Governor Jennifer Granholm is defending her call for expanding the state sales tax to services. She says Michigan's educational and economic future depends on it.
Granholm says dropping the sales tax to 5.5 percent and expanding it to most services would pump $500 million more into public schools.
Although she has cut education money in the past, she says she's not going to do it anymore.
School districts absorbed a $165 per student cut this year and could face more cuts in the fiscal year that starts October 1.
