LANSING, Mich - Michigan has spent heavily on early childhood education over the past 20 years, but it has not brought better academic outcomes. While spending increased, student proficiency dropped.
In fiscal year 2000-01, Michigan’s education spending on the School Aid Fund reached $10.8 billion. By fiscal year 2023-24, spending had more than doubled to $21 billion, according to the nonpartisan Senate Fiscal Agency.
Gov. Gretchen Whitmer expanded taxpayer funding for preschool in the latest budget.
The move mirrored an earlier expansion of government involvement in early education by former Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who formed the Early Childhood Investment Corporation in 2005. Click here to read more.

AURORA, CO - Aurora, Colorado, officials are asking the courts to let them evict Venezuelan migrant gangs from apartment buildings, even as Democrat Gov. Jared Polis keeps dismissing video reports of gang takeovers.
Only two days ago, Polis and his spokespeople were telling Americans to ignore their lying eyes concerning video of armed migrant gangs taking over apartment buildings and forcing citizens to turn their rent money over to the gang. The governor’s spokesman told the media that the reports of armed members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua were a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.
The spokesman also slammed local Aurora officials, adding that Polis “really hopes that the city council members in charge stop trashing their own city when they are supposed to keep it safe.” Click here to read more.
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The United States military and Iraq launched a joint raid targeting suspected Islamic State group militants in the country’s western desert that killed at least 15 people and left seven American troops hurt, officials said Saturday.
For years after dislodging the militants from their self-declared caliphate across Iraq and Syria, U.S. forces have fought the Islamic State group, though the casualties from this raid were higher than in previous ones.
The U.S. military’s Central Command said the militants were armed with “numerous weapons, grenades, and explosive ‘suicide’ belts” during the raid Thursday, which Iraqi forces said happened in the Anbar Desert. Click here to read more.
