	"description": "Rumors have circled in Lansing that Republican leadership has a plan to wants to change the way income tax refunds are sourced, which would have serious consequences for the School Aid Fund. Currently, about 23 percent of the state income tax revenue from employer withholding is routed to the School Aid Fund. When a person files their tax return and is owed a refund, all of that refund is paid from the General Fund. This proposal would split the refund between the School Aid Fund and the General Fund. Based on last year’s refund total, this would mean a cut of more than $400 million in school funding revenue. That would mean a cut of approximately $273 per student. While no legislation currently exists, the consequences of such a change are dire and the threat is real. We urge members to call their state representatives and senators and urge them to oppose any change that would hurt school funding.",
