Article source for : Money from Casino
Lansing, if they get this casino, wants to use their portion of the revenue to pay for college for every Lansing student.
"The city's 2% annual share of that money, which Bernero said would be about $5 million to $6 million a year, would pay for the Lansing Promise, a new program to pay for four-year college scholarships to any public Michigan university for graduates of the city's public school district. It would be modeled after a similar scholarship program in Kalamazoo funded by private benefactors."
This made me wonder where are the funds that Toledo is going to recieve being allocated? Are they going to the general fund and how do we change that so it goes to a similar type program? Why does Toledo never think outside the box?
