A $315 million surplus is causing tension between local and state government officials.
The State of Michigan last week announced that it has a $315 million revenue surplus for the coming fiscal year. Governor Snyder says the money may go towards things like debt payments, school security and improving state roads. What does that mean for other streets in towns and cities?
Many local government officials say the state government is refusing to pass along tax dollars that could help Michigan municipalities facing financial crises and crumbling infrastructure.
