&lt;p&gt;It is time to stop pouring money into Detroit Public Schools.&amp;nbsp; We might as well flush it down the toilet or give it to AIG.&amp;nbsp; At least then we&amp;#39;ll know where it goes.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Detroit public schools is no different than the rest of the state that is losing students therefore they should get the same treatment.&amp;nbsp; If you look at their record of corruption and waste, it&amp;#39;s insane to continue funding it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I aplaud the state for (finally) moving in to force change in the DPS finance division.&amp;nbsp; I encourage and aplaud the efforts of the new financial manager - He&amp;#39;s terrific already.&amp;nbsp; However..&amp;nbsp; fiscal management does not mean throwing resources and money at it.&amp;nbsp; it means fixing it !&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>2009 House Bill 4047 (Extend Detroit School District special treatment )</title><link>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/273212.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 01 Jan 2001 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">85480579-cbb1-4596-8e66-ca77d6981342:273212</guid><dc:creator>admin</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/thread/273212.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.michiganvotes.org/forum/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=11&amp;PostID=273212</wfw:commentRss><description>Introduced in the House on January 22, 2009&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.michiganvotes.org/2009-HB-4047'&gt;Click here to view bill details.&lt;/a&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
