State House lawmakers are considering a package of bills that would change a program originally created to help Michiganders go to college to also help cover K-through-12 expenses.

The new federal tax law opened the door to the change.

But several public education groups oppose the legislation…claiming it would deepen the divide between the “haves and have nots.”
