MICHIGAN - Gov. Jennifer Granholm will propose $140 million in state budget cuts today, including the closure of a state prison and a prison camp, along with reductions in welfare payments, according to a copy of the plan obtained Tuesday by the Free Press. Granholm's executive order will spare public schools, universities and revenue sharing to local communities from any cuts. Closing the prisons, which were not named in the plan, would save $21 million. The closings are made possible, at least in part, by an unexpected decline in the number of inmates in the state to fewer than 49,000, the lowest level since 2000. Read more.
