Here is how we are fixing the budget shortfall.

This is Senate Bill 657. Go to http://www.michiganvotes.org/ and enter the bill number. Below is the explanation you will read:

"Introduced by Sen. Ron Jelinek on July 26, 2007, to transfer to the general fund to pay for other government spending $70 million from a fuel tax that is supposed to be dedicated for the cleanup of leaking underground fuel tanks. (The underground fuel tank cleanup fund was also the target of a 2004 "fund raid".) This is part of the deal to borrow and shift funds to avoid spending cuts in the Fiscal Year 2006-2007 budget."

This is the way the cowardly lion would fix the budget.
