WASHINGTON, D.C. -- With the deadline looming, budget cuts could be coming to mid-Michigan.
The White House has released a document showing, state-by-state, exactly what programs will be cut.
You can see what cuts will happen in Michigan by looking at this report.
A few highlights taken directly from the document:
Teachers and Schools: Michigan will lose approximately $22 million in funding for primary and
secondary education, putting around 300 teacher and aide jobs at risk. In addition about 25,000
fewer students would be served and approximately 80 fewer schools would receive funding.
Law Enforcement and Public Safety Funds for Crime Prevention and Prosecution: Michigan
will lose about $482,000 in Justice Assistance Grants that support law enforcement, prosecution
and courts, crime prevention and education, corrections and community corrections, drug treatment
and enforcement, and crime victim and witness initiatives.
Public Health: Michigan will lose approximately $944,000 in funds to help upgrade its ability to
respond to public health threats including infectious diseases, natural disasters, and biological,
chemical, nuclear, and radiological events. In addition, Michigan will lose about $2.9 million in
grants to help prevent and treat substance abuse, resulting in around 3,500 fewer admissions to
substance abuse programs. And the Michigan Department of Community Health will lose about
$315,000 resulting in around 7,900 fewer HIV tests.
