2007 Senate Bill 247

Appropriations: 2007-2008 Community Colleges executive budget

Introduced in the Senate

Feb. 21, 2007

Introduced by Sen. Irma Clark-Coleman (D-3)

The executive recommendation for the Fiscal Year (FY) 2007-2008 community colleges budget. This appropriates $297.3 million in gross spending, compared to $281.3 million, which was the FY 2006-2007 amount enrolled in 2006. All of this comes from the general fund (funded by actual state tax revenues). Note: Gov. Jenifer Granholm’s executive budget recommendations are premised on the legislature adopting a 2 percent tax on services which along with other tax increases and a proposed reduction in business taxes represents a net tax hike of approximately $1 billion.
