Introduced
by
To appropriate $20 million from the Michigan Civilian Conservation Corps Endowment Fund to the General Fund as a measure to close the gap between expected Fiscal Year 2007-2008 revenue and spending in other areas of state government. This would have the effect of essentially ending this Depression-era program, which now pays some 18-to-25 year olds minimum wage to perform certain support activities in state parks.
Referred to the Committee on Appropriations
