Cuts or no cuts - who to believe?

As the November election for governor approaches, much is being said about cuts to education......with the current governor saying he has given over a billion dollars to education.  I have even heard it referred to as "new" dollars.  I am still not sure I understand that....and I will try to explain that in another post.

But what is undeniable is that in his first year in office, spending to education was cut by over $1billion dollars by which a tax break was given to corporations.   This amounted to a $470 dollar cut in per pupil funding that has never been replaced.   EACH year since that first year, the per pupil funding is $470 less than it was the year before Snyder took office.
