Greg Bird Quotations

If we were to give it back right now that would be too risky.

We're obviously very concerned with what the House does as far as funding for Wayne State.

I think when we do the budget, we make a number of assumptions, and that's one of them. We assume that there will be an economic package put into place.

It is going to be another difficult year ahead of us. Even with today's news there is going to be a number of economic uncertainties this year.

We found a significant budget shortfall in Michigan that forced us to make difficult choices. These prisoners can be housed in alternative facilities at a savings to the taxpayer.

We got one like that against us last week and nothing happened.

There's a lot to be proud of. Overall, public schools will see an increase; universities will see an increase. We have protected the social safety net, which is a tremendous goal given the economic times we face.

It's entirely possible they get that money back. We just want to ensure that money is there.

It will help retain workers that we have and hopefully attract new workers to the system.
