Is education more important than film tax credits?

Last night a rally was held.  The Free Press reported that people came to plan a strategy to save Michigan's film tax credit.  I think that is wonderful!

But, where are the rallies in support of education?  The Governor has proposed slashing spending on schools by $470 per student.

That's a lot of money.  In Grand Ledge it would be about 2.3 million dollars.  That's 2.3 million dollars less next year than we have this year.

How would we cut that much money from our budget?  It would be very difficult.  Almost impossible.

Yet I have not heard of rallies planned to protest this proposal.  If we believe that public schools are worth saving then we need to fight this proposal.
