The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, January 28, 2004 - 7 PELL GRANTS Continued from Page 1 The form requires them to put their family's incomes and tax-return information. The new tables could lower Pell Grants because many states have lowered taxes since 1988, making the government think families need less aid. According to a 2003 Congressional Research Service memo, low-income applicants will not be affected. "Expected family contributions of a sig- nificant number of very low-income aid applicants will be unaffected by these revisions, and that many relatively high-income applicants will find their eli- gibility for federal aid unaffected, although their EFCs may have risen," the memo states. The Department of Education estimates that postponing the required update to the state tax per- centages would increase Pell grant expenditures for the 2004-2005 school year by $270 million. While changes will be made to the tax tables, Rodriguez said implications are still the michigan daily " . CHEAP A * without th " . block fron " heat, and prk COMFOR it all in a1 " from thet :Prkg.

"We will run analyses to see how changes in Pell will impact funding for our students, but this issue has been so up and down that we do not know yet how it will affect students," she said. Paige clarified how financial aid is measured. "It is important to note that a number of family financial and household circumstances affect a student's eligibility for aid each year, and therefore it is difficult to determine the overall impact of this update nationwide," Paige said. Financial aid is affected by annual changes in the amount of family income, household size, federal income taxes paid, the number of family members enrolled in college and values of sav- ings and assets. "We intend to continue this strong support for the Pell grant program in order to assist stu- dents from low-income families in their dream of obtaining a postsecondary education," he Paige said. GRANHOLM Continued from Page 1 for in-state and out-of-state students, respec- tively. In addition, the administration down- sized staffs, cut classes and reduced certain library hours. Granholm pointed to her accomplishments in completing a budget despite a $3 billion budget deficit. She noted that all state depart- ments saw reduced appropriations. "We have spent a year twisting the wet towel of government tight, to wring out ounce after ounce of inefficiency. We trimmed hun- dreds of millions of dollars by cutting cell phone usage, turning off lights and calling in state cars," Granholm said. "If you seek a leaner government, look about you." But Granholm noted that the state would continue to expand on new ideas and the state economy. She reaffirmed her "Cool Cities Ini- tiative," an idea to revitalize cities to keep col- lege graduates from leaving the state. Cool Cities also involves expanding the state job market and attracting more businesses to the state. "I am pleased to say that this is a bottom- up movement in which nearly 80 of our com- munities have local commissions on cool that are uncorking the bottle of creativity and unleashing the bottle of possibility - plan- ning everything from bike paths to book- stores to attract more people and new businesses," Granholm said. In a prepared GOP response, state Rep. Scott Shackleton (R- Sault Ste. Marie) said job creation was a top priority for the legisla- ture this year. "We will fight for every Michigan job, and we won't stop fighting until every person who wants to work can find a job," he said. Michigan business groups said they were also pleased with Granholm's speech. "I heard and welcomed a pro-jobs, pro- manufacturing and basically conservative message that called for making the state more business-friendly, said John MacIlroy, presi- dent and chief executive officer of the Michi- gan Manufacturers Association. Granholm also made health care an . important focus of her speech last night. She proposed a new Michigan Prescrip- tion Discount card, know as the MI-RX, which she said would allow 200,000 sen- ior citizens and working people without insurance to cut the cost of prescription drugs by as much as 20 percent. The card is modeled after a program started by Macomb County last year. "We will expand access to basic health- care" Granholm said. "Few things affect the quality of our life and the quality of our work more than good health." - The Associated Press contributed to this reportV. .ND EASY be close to the action ONE AND TWO bdrm. furnished apts. loc. he premium price, 4 bdrm. half near the Medical Campus.
