Under the Governor's 2007 budget proposal, the state would provide $2 million in School Aid Funds for grants to high schools to participate in FIRST Robotics Competitions. The grants would be matched equally by the local districts.

I loved the idea that your governor would be so supportive of FIRST. But given the reality of Michigan's current economic situation, I'm not surprised this would be cut. And if it were approved in the budget, just where would the local school districts come up with the funding to equally match the state grants?
